The world’s leading cryptocurrency-friendly travel booking platform Travala.com has teamed up with the world’s leading travel accommodation website Booking.com opening up over 2 million accommodation listings globally for crypto users.
Matt Luczynski, CEO of Travala.com said:
“This partnership allows our users to access Booking.com’s accommodation listings, as well as the listings from several other leading travel suppliers, which is a fantastic use case for our own AVA token.
Luczynski also believes this is a huge step towards mass cryptocurrency adoption.
Working together Booking.com, Travala.com has already integrated Booking.com’s accommodation listings to its platform that is now live and bookable across over 230 countries and 90,000 destinations worldwide.
