Travala Integrates with Solana to Enhance Travel Bookings

Crypto-focused travel booking platform Travala has announced its integration with Solana, the fourth-largest blockchain by market cap, marking its third network addition after Ethereum and BNB Chain. CEO Juan Otero revealed this development during a panel at Solana Breakpoint in Singapore.

This integration will enable users to book flights, hotels, and accommodations using Solana-based assets like SOL, USDT, and USDC. Additionally, Travala’s loyalty program will reward users with up to 10% of their booking value back in SOL, as well as in Bitcoin and Travala’s native token, AVA.

Otero noted that Solana has become one of the most utilized blockchains due to its efficiency and scalability, which opens up new opportunities for advancing the travel sector. Following a community vote, AVA will also be available on the Solana network, alongside its Ethereum and BNB Chain versions.

While Travala supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies for bookings, only a select few are directly supported in user accounts. With this new integration, users can deposit and withdraw SOL, USDT, and USDC on the Solana network directly into their Travala accounts, enjoying zero-fee transactions for travel bookings.
