Travala is a top travel booking site that’s friendly crypto users. They’re teaming up with Skyscanner, which is of the biggest travel search engines out there. This partnership is a big deal because it’s the first time they has worked with a platform that focuses on cryptocurrencies. Now, it’ll be easier for travellers to book hotels using crypto! This move will help bring attention to cryptocurrencies in the world of travel.
Sanja Vukik, who’s in charge of Hotels at Skyscanner, talked about how important it is for them to offer different ways for travelers to pay. By teaming up with Travala.com, they want to meet the needs of folks looking for other payment choices—especially those in the cryptocurrency crowd.
Travala.com got recognized as one of PhocusWire's Hot 25 Travel Startups for 2022 and thinks this partnership is a big step towards making crypto mainstream. CEO Juan Otero pointed out how important visibility is when it comes to people adopting cryptocurrencies widely. Being on such a well-known platform like Skyscanner means Travala can reach more people—especially those who might not have thought about using crypto for travel before.
If you choose to book through Travala.com on Skyscanner, you’ll go right over to Travala's site to finish up your booking. Plus, when you pay with crypto on their platform, you can snag some cool rewards—like discounts and Bitcoin incentives tied to Web3 technology.
This partnership fits into Travala.com’s plan to link up with major travel platforms & increase its presence. They’ve already joined forces with Kayak and kicked off an NFT rewards program last year. With around 110 million people using Skyscanner each month, there’s a great chance for Travala.com to grow its customer base quickly.
