1min read Travala and Trivago Partner to Expand Crypto Travel Bookings
Travala, a leading crypto-focused travel booking platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Trivago, a prominent global travel search and booking platform. This collaboration aims to provide Trivago users with access to over 2.2 million hotels and accommodations, along with the option to pay using cryptocurrencies.
The integration enables Trivago users worldwide to discover, compare, and book Travala's extensive inventory of properties. Upon selecting a Travala-listed property, users will be redirected to the crypto-centered travel app for booking. Travala offers a wide range of accommodations, activities, and airlines across 230 countries, accepting over 100 leading digital currencies in addition to traditional payment methods.
Trivago users can now search, compare, and pay for their preferred hotels and accommodations using popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, and Travala's native travel loyalty token, AVA. The partnership also offers competitive prices, a best-price guarantee, and a Smart members program that allows users to earn loyalty points for their purchases, redeemable in Bitcoin or AVA for Smart Basic members.
Juan Otero, CEO of Travala, sees this integration as a significant step in promoting global crypto adoption. "With hundreds of billions of searches conducted daily across travel metasearch engines, adding Travala to Trivago isn't just advantageous for us—it helps strengthen and validate the entire crypto ecosystem by increasing the prevalence of crypto transactions for practical services," Otero added.
This latest development follows Travala's recent collaborations with major travel companies and search engines like KAYAK and Skyscanner. These integrations have contributed to the company's growth into a multi-million dollar enterprise, with 78% of all bookings in 2024 paid for using cryptocurrency, underscoring the increasing demand for crypto travel solutions.
