Travala has achieved a significant milestone in the realm of cryptocurrency adoption by securing an integration with Skyscanner, a prominent global travel marketplace. This development marks Skyscanner's first partnership with a crypto-native application, as announced in a recent communication to Cointelegraph.

The integration enables Travala to connect with Skyscanner’s extensive user base, which includes over 110 million individuals who use the platform monthly. This partnership highlights Skyscanner’s commitment to incorporating diverse payment options to cater to evolving traveler preferences, as noted by Sanja Vukik, Skyscanner’s Head of Hotels.

Through this collaboration, Travala gains substantial visibility, advancing the mainstream acceptance of {cryptocurrency} and blockchain technologies. As Justin Hyun, Director at The Open Network Foundation, suggests, achieving mass adoption may hinge on user-friendly applications with practical functionality, similar to Telegram Mini Apps, which could serve as a catalyst for broader adoption.

The integration also positions Travala to drive significant progress in mainstream Web3 adoption. According to Juan Otero, CEO of Travala, the partnership with Skyscanner will demonstrate the practical utility of cryptocurrency in the travel sector. With Skyscanner handling over 80 billion searches daily, this partnership is likely to introduce Travala’s crypto-based travel services to a wider audience.

Travala distinguishes itself by allowing travel bookings through cryptocurrency payments, offering a range of over 100 cryptocurrencies for transactions. Unlike other travel booking platforms such as Booking and Expedia, Travala provides cryptocurrency rewards instead of traditional loyalty points, enhancing the travel experience for crypto users.

Founded in 2017, Travala is a cryptocurrency-focused travel platform that grants access to more than 2.2 million properties across 230 countries and facilitates bookings with over 600 international airlines. This integration with Skyscanner underscores Travala’s role in revolutionizing travel through cryptocurrency.
