Travala, a prominent crypto-based travel booking platform, has integrated Solana’s tokens, providing users with more payment options and rewards. The platform now accepts SOL, USDC, and USDT tokens, expanding its extensive list of over 100 cryptocurrencies.
Travala users can now use Solana tokens to book flights and accommodations, earning up to 10% in SOL rewards through the platform’s loyalty program. In addition to payment options, Travala has also deployed its native token, AVA, on the Solana blockchain. This integration allows for transactions without fees, enhancing the overall user experience.
Travala expands Crypto offerings with Solana integration
Travala’s latest integration adds Solana’s tokens to its ecosystem, extending the platform’s crypto payment options. During a panel at the Solana Breakpoint event in Singapore, Travala CEO Juan Otero announced the inclusion of SOL, USDC, and USDT tokens. Users can now seamlessly pay for travel services using Solana’s tokens, with rewards from the loyalty program. According to Otero, adopting Solana is a strategic move to enhance Travala’s platform with cost-effective and stable technology, ultimately improving users’ travel experiences.
Partnership with Skyscanner brings further benefits
Travala recently announced a partnership with Skyscanner, a major player in the travel industry. This collaboration aims to increase traffic to Travala’s website while introducing Skyscanner’s users to crypto-based accommodations. After completing their bookings, Skyscanner users can redeem rewards through the AVA smart program, adding further incentives for those choosing alternative payment methods.
Travala’s CEO emphasized that the partnership with Skyscanner will help expand the visibility and usability of cryptocurrencies in the travel sector. Similarly, Sanja Vukik, Skyscanner’s Head of Hotels, highlighted that integrating their market-leading search with Travala’s crypto-native platform makes travel planning more accessible to those preferring digital payment solutions.
