- Summary:
- The integration will enable millions of trivago users to discover, compare, and book Travala’s properties globally.
Travala, the crypto-native travel booking service, has partnered with trivago, one of the top global accommodation metasearch engines, to integrate Travala’s complete hotel inventory of over 2,200,000 properties on trivago.
The integration will enable millions of trivago users to discover, compare, and book Travala’s properties globally. When selecting a Travala property on trivago, travellers will be redirected to Travala, which offers payments in over 100 cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the platform’s native travel loyalty token, AVA.
In addition to paying with cryptocurrency, travellers who book with Travala after finding a property on trivago can also receive Bitcoin or AVA rewards as part of the AVA Smart Program, regardless of whether they opt to book with traditional payments or cryptocurrencies.
“At trivago, we aim to provide travellers with the most comprehensive overview of all available accommodation options,” said Timo Itterbeck, Head of Account Management APAC / LATAM / Spain at trivago. “By integrating Travala, we’re expanding the choice for our customers while also broadening their ability to book with emerging payment options like cryptocurrencies.”
Last month, Travala announced that the company recorded $100 million in gross yearly revenue in 2024, almost doubling its revenue from the previous year. On average, 78% of all bookings on Travala in 2024 were paid for using cryptocurrency, highlighting the increasing demand for crypto travel.
“Our integration with trivago is another key step in bringing crypto adoption to the masses,” said Juan Otero, CEO of Travala. “There are hundreds of billions of daily searches performed across travel metasearch engines, and adding Travala to trivago isn’t just beneficial for us—it helps amplify and further legitimise the entire crypto ecosystem by expanding the prevalence of crypto transactions for real-world services.”
The news follows Travala’s integrations with other travel metasearch engines, Skyscanner and KAYAK, which saw Travala become the first crypto OTA to be integrated on these platforms.
