Travala integrates Solana, expands crypto travel options and rewards for users

In this post:

  • Travala will now allow payments in Solana assets on its booking platform.
  • The announcement also said the company’s users can get over 10% of their booking values in SOL rewards.
  • The platform integrated Solana less than three weeks after it announced its collaboration with Skyscanner.

The crypto-native travel booking service Travala has added Solana’s tokens to its list of cryptocurrencies, expanding user payment options and rewards. The platform will now accept SOL, USDC, and USDT tokens.

Additionally, Travala’s token (AVA) will be deployed on Solana, and the platform will offer SOL travel rewards alongside BTC and AVA.

Travala incorporates Solana to enhance its crypto offerings

With over 100 forms of cryptocurrency already allowed on its platform, Travala has added Solana’s tokens to its ecosystem. In a panel discussion at Solana Breakpoint in Singapore, CEO Juan Otero declared the latest infusion, saying Solana tokens will now be used to book flights and hotel accommodations on the platform. 

The integration ideally extends to SOL, USDC, and USDT tokens. With this, users on the travel platform can get up to 10% of SOL travel rewards via the loyalty program. 

On community approval, the Travala native AVA token is also live on the Solana network, allowing users to transact with zero transaction fees.

Otero also brought up the cost and stability of Solana, noting that its technology could provide a basis for building new ways for their next travels so as to enhance the whole travel experience.

Travala is actively partnering with many networks and platforms

In the first week of September, Travala announced its partnership with Skyscanner. The deal was intended to increase inbound traffic to the travel website and expose Skyscanner’s users to accommodations bookable on the platform.

Skyscanner users that want to redeem their rewards will also be able to do so via the AVA smart program, once they have completed their booking. The package also features discounts of up to 10% back in Bitcoin and related Web3 travel rewards.

Travala’s CEO commented on the collaboration, noting that it will help make crypto’s usability known and provide alternative payment options to many users. 

Sanja Vukik, the head of hotels at Skyscanner, also spoke on the partnership, saying, By integrating Skyscanner’s market-leading search capabilities with Travala.com’s crypto-native platform, we’re making travel planning more accessible and flexible for the growing number of travelers who prefer alternative payment methods.”

A few months ago, Travala also declared its new strategic cooperation with Toncoin, a decentralized and open internet platform, to support the integration of TON and USDT assets. Otero explained that what makes the travel company unique and relevant is the broad base of payment options compared to other platforms.
