Despegar, one of the largest travel agencies in Latin America, has partnered with Binance Pay and Inswitch to allow customers in Argentina to pay for tour packages in more than 70 different cryptocurrencies. This move makes Despegar the first online travel agency in the region to accept cryptocurrency as a means of payment. The crypto payment offering may expand to other countries in South America in the future. Paula Cristi, the general manager of Despegar for Argentina and Uruguay, said that the partnership will allow Argentines to “approach this universe in a friendly way.” Cryptocurrencies have also been adopted by well-known global hotel chains such as the Pavilions Hotels & Resorts, The Chedi Andermatt, Novotel Bahrain Al Dana Resort, W Dubai – The Palm, and Palazzo Versace Dubai.
