Crypto Integration Expands Travel Options
Travala’s CEO Juan Otero explained that this partnership is part of a growing trend in the travel industry. As Otero put it, “It’ll only take one major player to integrate crypto payments for others to follow suit.” Trivago, which operates in over 190 countries and serves three million users monthly, may be just that major player.
Travala’s Rewards Add Appeal for Crypto Users
Travala isn’t stopping at crypto payments. Users who book through the platform will receive extra perks—loyalty rewards in Bitcoin or Travala’s native AVA token. This program aims to set Travala apart from traditional booking sites that rely on old-school loyalty points.
Travala’s expansion highlights the growing role of blockchain in real-world applications. According to Cointelegraph, the platform surpassed $100 million in revenue last year.
