Travala integrates Solana for seamless crypto travel bookings

Travala, the crypto-native travel booking platform, has integrated Solana, enabling users to book flights and hotels using Solana network assets such as SOL (CRYPTO:SOL), USDT (CRYPTO:USDT), and USDC (CRYPTO:USDC).

The update, announced by Travala CEO Juan Otero at the Solana Breakpoint event in Singapore, also allows users to earn SOL rewards through Travala’s loyalty program, enhancing the platform’s offerings.

Otero highlighted Solana’s scalability and cost-effectiveness as essential to Travala’s growth strategy.

This integration is part of Travala’s efforts to broaden its ecosystem and encourage cryptocurrency usage in everyday transactions.

With the addition of Solana, users can now deposit and withdraw SOL and other Solana-based assets directly on the platform, simplifying the booking process and eliminating transaction fees.

The platform continues to support AVA, Travala’s native token, which operates across Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH), BNB Chain (CRYPTO:BNB), and now Solana.

Travala’s partnership with Skyscanner, a global travel marketplace, is a crucial component of this expansion.

Through Skyscanner, Travala’s inventory of over 2.2 million hotels becomes accessible to Skyscanner’s 110 million monthly users.

This integration boosts Travala’s visibility, positioning it alongside major travel platforms like Expedia and Booking.com, and advancing mass crypto adoption in travel.

The move to incorporate Solana underscores Travala’s commitment to utilising blockchain’s advantages, including speed, scalability, and low transaction fees, to enhance the travel industry.

With a loyalty program offering up to 10% in rewards, Travala continues to drive greater cryptocurrency adoption in practical applications, strengthening its presence in both decentralised finance and global travel.

At the time of reporting, the Solana (SOL) price was $146.66.
