UTU Trust Infrastructure Partners with Travala.com
Travala.com, the leading blockchain-based travel booking platform with over 3 million travel products in 230 countries and territories covering 90,124 destinations and UTU have announced today a partnership and brand new collaboration!
Hospitality and travel are two very personalized experiences; one you expect to enjoy with friends, family or on business. Yet, how we look for hotels or travel arrangements in general uses a very different approach. Typically, someone looking to book accommodation will go to third party services or review sites where anonymous strangers leave comments and reviews. Essentially you are nudged to book or not based on the most recent reviews you see. Alternative technology companies are trying to develop more mathematical approaches to trust through better aggregation or factor-weighting methods. While these are good steps forward, they are not exactly revolutionary, nor do they capture the essence of how humans trust.
UTU is transforming digital trust with its AI-powered decentralized Trust Infrastructure as a Service. With this landmark partnership, we make a major step into a global platform in a critical sector. We are thrilled to announce that UTU coins will become an accepted form of payment on Travala.com. Following this partnership, Travala.com will be integrated throughout UTU’s subsidiary network of mobility apps across Africa, boosting its presence in the world’s second-largest and second-most populous continent.
UTU’s CEO Jason Eisen noted, “This partnership made perfect sense from the first meeting — with UTU’s roots and expertise in mobility and Travala.com’s global leadership in innovating around travel. We also look forward to integrating delightful new user experiences based on UTU’s Trust Infrastructure for Travala.com’s users. The ability to access and learn from Travala.com’s hundreds of thousands of transactional data points within the context of travel and hospitality will greatly improve UTU’s recommendation algorithms while enhancing the user experience of those visiting Travala.com. Users on Travala.com, will get personalized recommendations from people they trust, rather than anonymous recent reviews with full privacy control.”
Travala.com will accept the UTU token for booking over 3,000,000 travel products worldwide, including hotels, homes, flights, tours, and activities across the world.
The partnership will empower UTU holders to participate in a cheaper, fairer, and more inclusive travel economy while also enhancing the utility of the UTU, being used for travel bookings via Travala.com. UTU will be using Travala.com’s business account services for internal company travel requirements.
Juan Otero, Travala.com CEO said; As we continue in our commitment towards mass cryptocurrency adoption, we’re very excited to partner with UTU Trust Infrastructure to champion the growth of the crypto community and to bring a great new use case to UTU.
