Leading Blockchain-based Travel Booking Platform Travala.com to Integrate ERD as Payment
- Mainnet $ERD will pay for flights & accommodation via Travala & TravelbyBit
- Exposure to customers for 600 airlines & 2 million hotels
- “Spread the world” & earn $5k in $ERD with “Elrond Amplify” via Twitter
We are excited to announce that online travel & accommodations firms Travala.com & TravelByBit will integrate Elrond into their platforms, allowing for payments to be made in native $ERD, Binance’s $BUSD stable-coin issued on Elrond blockchain, and potentially other assets issued on our network.
The partnership enhances the utility of Elrond assets by enabling them to be used for purchasing hospitality services through the two partner platforms. Flights via 600 airlines and accommodation at over 2 million hotels around the globe will be purchasable with $ERD and $BUSD after the Elrond mainnet launch. Elrond will be using the business account services of both platforms for our company travel requirements.
“The recent changes in travel habits put Travala.com & TravelbyBit in a very special position to offer users more convenient payment alternatives. We are very excited about this integration, which offers a great opportunity for the Elrond ecosystem, adding significant utility for the ERD currency.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.
Leading crypto-friendly accommodation booking service Travala.com and Binance-backed flight solution TravelbyBit have recently merged to form one of the biggest online travel agencies. The joint organization stands out from its competitors by directly integrating cryptocurrency payments, loyalty programs, crypto debit cards & other advantages inherent to blockchain technology.
The platforms have experienced a surge in demand even in recent times, demonstrating consumer appetite for innovative solutions and modern payment options, which will further the exposure of the Elrond ecosystem to an actively growing user base.
“The overhead associated with integrating new blockchains into our platforms makes us very selective about how we expand the available options so that we do so in a meaningful way. Elrond’s technology can increase satisfaction by fast & inexpensive payments execution, which is a win for our users.” said Juan Otero, Travala.com CEO
