Juan Otero, Co-Founder and CEO of Travala, mentioned in the press release that the partnership with Trivago reflects a wider industry trend where travel companies are investigating alternative payment methods.
The convenience of cryptocurrency payments for accommodation bookings was emphasized by Max Krupyshev, CEO of CoinsPaid, during the Function Driven FinTech podcast.
“People around the globe want to pay for accommodations anywhere. This means they send money from everywhere, while hosts receive it from all over. In Europe, SEPA payments or traditional bank transfers work well. However, it becomes more complicated in more exotic regions. The challenge is to send or receive money quickly and securely. The solution is crypto payments,” stated Max.
In June 2024, Travala introduced support for TON for booking flights, hotels, tours, and other travel services in over 230 countries. Overall, Travala supports 127 payment methods, including more than 100 major cryptocurrencies.
