New integration makes crypto payments easier
Travala, a well-known cryptocurrency travel booking platform, officially announced its integration with the Solana blockchain, which will expand its payment options and allow users to use Solana’s blockchain-based assets for travel bookings. This new service covers flights, hotels and a variety of accommodation options, further broadening the range of cryptocurrencies supported by Travala. According to Juan Otero, CEO of Travala, who shared at the Solana Breakpoint conference in Singapore, Solana’s highly scalable functionality and low cost make it an ideal choice to enhance the cryptocurrency travel experience.
"Solana's technology offers Travala tremendous potential to develop next-generation travel services," Otero said.
In addition, Travala also plans to launch more Solana-based products to further expand the application of the Solana ecosystem in the real world.
Improve user experience and zero-fee transactions
Not only does Travala support multiple cryptocurrencies for booking, this integration with Solana also brings zero-fee asset deposit and withdrawal services. Travala users can now deposit $SOL, $USDT and $USDC directly into their Travala account and make payments without any fees while enjoying up to 10% back on their booking amount in the form of $SOL, Bitcoin and Travala Own token $AVA.
In addition, Travala has also deployed its native token $AVA on the Solana network, which means that Travala is further strengthening its connection with the Solana ecosystem. This not only stimulates user participation, but also makes the application of cryptocurrency more widespread in the tourism industry.

Skyscanner partners to drive global markets
This collaboration between Travala and Solana is not the platform’s first major move. Earlier this month, Travala partnered with Skyscanner, a world-renowned travel marketplace platform, to bring Travala’s 2.2 million hotel options onto its platform. With Skyscanner’s data-power of 110 million monthly users and 80 billion daily searches, the integration places Travala alongside major travel platforms such as Expedia and Booking.com, bringing more options for travel booking using cryptocurrencies.
Since its founding in 2017, Travala has continued to expand its services, initially based on the Neo blockchain and later moving to BNB Chain in 2020, taking advantage of its high performance and low fees. Today, Travala’s Solana integration once again demonstrates the platform’s determination to continue expanding its cryptocurrency services and its steady growth in the cryptocurrency travel market.
Travala’s cooperation with Solana not only improves user experience, but also opens up a new path for the widespread application of cryptocurrency in the travel industry. As more users join the crypto payment bandwagon, Travala will continue to become a leader in the global crypto travel market.
