Travala and its crypto travel services conquer Skyscanner
Thanks to this new collaboration signed Travala-Skyscanner, users will have more alternatives to choose from, both in terms of hotels and payments in crypto or fiat.
In this regard, Sanja Vukik, Head of Hotels at Skyscanner, commented:
“This collaboration with Travala.com underscores our commitment to offering diverse and cutting-edge solutions that meet the ever-evolving needs of travelers. By integrating Skyscanner’s market-leading search capabilities with Travala.com’s crypto-native platform, we are making travel planning more accessible and flexible for the growing number of travelers who prefer alternative payment methods.”

Once the booking is completed on Travala.com, travelers can receive rewards through the AVA Smart program. The program offers benefits such as discounts on bookings, up to 10% in Bitcoin and other web3 travel rewards.
The integration of The Open Network and TON
Last June, Travala had announced also the integration of The Open Network, allowing its users to use the crypto Toncoin (TON), to book trips.
According to Travala, Toncoin is a decentralized and open internet, created by the community with technology designed by Telegram.
Thanks to this partnership, Travala has created more use cases for the use of TON, with the joint mission of increasing its adoption.
