Travala partners with Trivago to expand crypto travel bookings

Travala, a crypto-friendly travel booking platform, has partnered with Trivago, expanding its reach to over 2.2 million properties that can be booked using more than 100 different cryptocurrencies. This collaboration further cements the growing integration of digital assets in the travel sector, with Travala positioning itself as a key player in facilitating the use of crypto for travel payments.

The move highlights the increasing interest of traditional travel providers in exploring digital currencies as viable payment methods. Travala has already teamed up with major platforms like Skyscanner, Expedia, and Booking.com, further solidifying its role in the digital asset-driven travel ecosystem.

In addition to allowing bookings with crypto, the partnership introduces a rewards program for travelers. Those booking through Trivago will earn Bitcoin (BTC) and Travala’s native AVA tokens as part of the platform’s loyalty system.

Travala supports over 100 cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ETH), BNB, Tether (USDT), and XRP, offering users a wide range of digital assets for their travel needs.

This announcement follows Travala’s introduction of a Treasury Reserve Plan, which allows the platform to allocate part of its treasury to Bitcoin and AVA. The move comes after Travala surpassed $100 million in annual revenue. This initiative further integrates blockchain technology by enabling users to earn and redeem rewards in these digital currencies, depending on their membership tier.

Currently, millions of dollars in travel bookings on the platform are processed through cryptocurrencies, solidifying Travala’s position as a leader in the crypto travel space.
