Travala, a blockchain-based travel platform, has partnered with global travel marketplace Skyscanner to offer hotel bookings that can be paid for in over
100 cryptocurrencies.
Making Travel Easier with Crypto
Travala's inventory includes over
2.2 million hotels across
230 countries, and users can now book accommodations through Skyscanner using popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and BNB.
Travala's integration makes it the first crypto-native platform available on Skyscanner, which boasts
110 million monthly users. The move allows Skyscanner users to see Travala listings alongside big names like Expedia and Booking.com.
Travala CEO Juan Otero said this collaboration is crucial for increasing the visibility of crypto in everyday services like travel bookings, helping promote wider adoption.
