Web3 travel platform Travala is expanding cryptocurrency-based hotel bookings through a new partnership with Trivago, a global accommodation metasearch engine.
The partnership will allow Trivago users to book more than 2.2 million properties from Travala’s inventory using cryptocurrency payments. Supported digital assets include Bitcoin BTCUSD, Ether 
ETHUSD and more than 100 tokens.
Juan Otero, co-founder and CEO of Travala, said the partnership reflects a broader industry trend of travel companies considering alternative payment methods.
“With the ongoing widespread adoption of crypto, it’ll only take one major player to integrate crypto payments into their travel platform for everyone else to follow suit,” he added.
Nasdaq-listed Trivago operates in more than 190 countries and lists over five million hotels worldwide. The new partnership will introduce crypto to the platform’s over three million unique monthly users.
