Travala was founded in 2017 and has since evolved to become a worldwide known platform that provides a wide range of travel services. With over 2.2 million hotel properties, 600 airlines, and 410,000 activities in over 230 countries and territories, it offers a wide range of travel possibilities for both business and pleasure travelers.
Its relationship with Skyscanner introduces the travel giant’s roughly 110 million monthly consumers to the convenience of booking with crypto. Skyscanner conducts approximately 80 billion price searches per day, and Travala’s offerings are now accessible through this large marketplace.
Maximizing Crypto Benefits with Travala’s AVA Smart Program
Travala has always promoted widespread crypto usage, and its integration is viewed as a big step forward. Users who book a hotel through Skyscanner are routed to Travala.com to confirm their reservation, where they may take advantage of the AVA Smart Program, which provides benefits such as booking discounts and up to 10% cash back in crypto.
The AVA token is an important part of Travala’s ecosystem because it allows travelers to earn points and get loyalty bonuses.
At the time of writing, AVA is trading at about $0.4768, a drop of 2.36% over the last 24 hours. Despite this, the site remains committed to improving its offerings and encouraging the expansion of cryptocurrency use in the travel industry.
Beside that, as we previously reported, Travala has expanded its reach by partnering with The Open Network (TON), which enabled smooth trip bookings with TON tokens.
This decision is consistent with Travala’s aim of supporting numerous digital assets and increasing choice for users who prefer alternative payment methods. Travala’s collaboration with Skyscanner and TON helps to bridge the gap between the world of cryptocurrency and mainstream travel services.
