Travala Joins Trivago to Expand Crypto Hotel Booking Options

• Trivago partners with Travala, enabling over 2.2 million hotel bookings using crypto payments in more than 100 digital assets.
• Travala expands its services with Galxe and BRAVOS, enhancing Web3 integration and luxury travel experiences for crypto-friendly travelers.

When traveling, payment options are frequently one of the variables that influence comfort. Good news now for those who enjoy digital assets: Trivago has officially teamed with Travala to allow hotel payments using more than one kind of cryptocurrency.

Users of this partnership can quickly reserve over 2.2 million properties globally without having to deal with digital asset exchanges to fiat money.

Trivago and Travala Make Travel More Flexible

For those unfamiliar, Travala is a blockchain-based trip booking tool which long carried the idea of paying with digital currency. Now, for those who wish to enjoy a vacation without depending on traditional payment methods, the connection with Trivago offers more chances.

Users who select a hotel on Trivago can be straight sent to the Travala platform to complete transactions using multiple crypto assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other tokens through this cooperation. Travala also provides a blockchain-based loyalty program whereby users may receive AVA token incentives in BTC or another value.

Exclusive Perks and Web3 Upgrades for Travelers

Travala has made other innovations in the industry of digital travel as well. Travala revealed in January 2025 a cooperation with Galxe, the biggest on-chain distribution system on Web3. By offering more interactive and adaptable Web3 capabilities, this cooperation seeks to improve the user experience. This collaboration offers the creativity to be able to obtain unique access or special promos merely by owning specific NFTs.

Additionally, officially joining BRAVOS by Meliá Hotels International on February 3, 2025, is Travala’s luxury Concierge service. Exclusive for luxury travel experts, BRAVOS itself provides a more customized experience for high-end guests. Travala is not only increasing payment possibilities but also raising the quality of service for the premium market with this action.

Previously, in September 2024, CNF reported that Travala has worked with Skyscanner to let about 2.2 million hotels be booked using cryptocurrency. One of the biggest markets in the travel sector, Skyscanner alone manages almost 80 billion price searches per day.

Travala’s joining the Skyscanner ecosystem gives users more choices to pay for their journey with digital assets free from regional limitations.

Crypto Payments Gain Momentum in Travel Industry

The travel business undergoes a significant change with the cooperation between Trivago and Travala. Although only a few platforms used crypto payments at first, big hotel booking systems are already embracing them. This is in line with the rising trend of blockchain-based payment solutions embraced in many different sectors.

Travala’s native token, AVA, on the other hand, keeps showing rise. Having seen a 4.70% rise in the last 24 hours, AVA was trading at about $0.6419 at press. Reflecting market hope about the platform’s future possibilities, its market cap has also grown to roughly $36 million.
