AVA (Travala)

Travala has inked a significant collaboration with travel marketplace Skyscanner, enabling crypto payments for hotel bookings to millions of travelers globally.
The crypto-native travel platform Travala <a href="https://www.travala.com/blog/travala-integrates-with-skyscanner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> on Sept. 5 that it had integrated with Skyscanner, bringing Travala.com’s inventory of over 2.2 million hotels to Skyscanner’s users.
Travala supports over 100 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">BTC</a>), Ethereum (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/">ETH</a>), BNB (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/bnb/">BNB</a>), Tether (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/tether/">USDT</a>) and XRP (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/xrp/">XRP</a>).

Travala, launched in 2017, has grown to include booking integrations with over 2.2 million properties across 230 countries. Skyscanner, with its 110 million monthly users, will now provide the option for hotel bookings paid with cryptocurrencies through Travala.com.
The two platform’s integration will work by allowing Skyscanner users to discover Travala alongside global travel agencies, including <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/expedia-travala-crypto-payments-700k-hotel-bookings/">Expedia</a>, Agoda and Booking.com.
As such, Skyscanner’s search results will list hotels on Travala.com, with travelers who pick destinations on the crypto-native platform’s listing able to pay with crypto. This visibility across the globe will boost overall adoption, Travala chief executive Juan Otero noted.
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 “Visibility is a crucial component of mass crypto adoption. By displaying Travala.com on one of the world’s most popular travel marketplaces in Skyscanner, we’re demonstrating the utility of crypto and showcasing it as an available option from the moment travelers make their very first search.”
 Travala.com CEO Juan Otero

Travala will offer a rewards program for its users paying with crypto, including up to 10% in BTC discount. Web3 travel loyalty program AVA Smart Program will facilitate this rewards system.
