Crypto-native travel platform Travala has announced its integration with Solana, marking an exciting expansion beyond Ethereum and BNB Chain. CEO Juan Otero shared this news at the Solana Breakpoint event in Singapore, highlighting that users can now book flights, hotels, and accommodations using Solana-based assets like SOL, USDT, and USDC.
As part of its loyalty program, Travala will reward users with up to 10% of their booking value back in SOL, along with BTC and its native token, AVA. Otera noted that Solana’s scalability and cost-effectiveness make it an ideal choice for enhancing travel experiences.
In addition to booking support, Travala is deploying its AVA token on the Solana network, further integrating with this growing ecosystem. Users will also benefit from zero-fee transactions when depositing and withdrawing SOL, USDT, and USDC directly within their Travala accounts.
Travala’s recent collaboration with Skyscanner is another milestone, allowing hotel bookings in over 100 cryptocurrencies, and making its inventory accessible alongside major travel agencies like Expedia and Booking.com.
Originally launched on the Neo blockchain, Travala transitioned to BNB Chain in 2020 to leverage its advantages. With this new Solana integration, the platform aims to significantly boost real-world utility for users and continue expanding its reach in the crypto and travel sectors.
