The development came after the booking service integrated with Skyscanner on September 5 as the first crypto agency on the platform. The platform claimed to have 110 million monthly users and up to 80 billion searches daily. Travala said the integration would allow Skyscanner users to discover and book hotels using over 100 cryptocurrencies.

Otero said the infusion allows users to book flights, hotels, and accommodation on Travala with Solana-based cryptocurrencies, including SOL, USDT, and USDC. With the integration, Travala users can now deposit and withdraw SOL, USDT, and USDC into and out of their accounts with zero-fee transactions.
Per the CEO, the integration also allows users to receive up to 10% of their bookings’ value in SOL travel rewards via Travala’s loyalty program, which already supports Bitcoin and the platform’s native token, AVA.
Additionally, Travala is keen on deploying AVA on Solana following a community vote and leveraging the third-largest blockchain by market capitalization to create products that expand real-world utility to the SOL ecosystem.
