Altcoin news: Dash and Travala join hands

One of the most beneficial aspects of cryptocurrency is the fact that it is global and can be used anywhere in the world and this has made it appealing to people since its Inception. Even as crypto sees more widespread use and adoption, there has been the growing frustration among crypto users regarding the fact that it cannot be used in some aspects of the tourism and travel industry, which is ironic considering it is one of the major industries besides crypto that is rooted in globalization.

Fortunately, this is changing as Travala announced on July 17, 2019, that they have integrated Dash into their platform which means that users can make payments across 210 countries and territories for travel and tourism using Dash.

Travala is a blockchain-based hotel booking platform that allows the use of cryptocurrency to pay for the booking of hotels around the globe and they have partnered with two of the three biggest hotel booking sites in the world and have given access to hundreds of thousands of hotels to crypto users.

They have an extensive roster of tokens that are accepted and Dash has now joined them with the Dash community being able to benefit from 40% discount when booking accommodations on travala.com. This new development is designed to grow the digital economy as any conferences and meetings that are held by the Dash community can now leverage travala and their special discounts to make their events more accessible. There is also a 5% token return for those who access travala through the link provided on the dash.org site and their social media posts. 

This system is part of ongoing efforts to make sure that cryptocurrency can be used in as many aspects of life as possible and by integrating the use of crypto to book hotel rooms, one more industry is conquered and hopefully, with many more to come. In the press release, it was stated that one of the benefits of using Dash for the consumers is its speed.

“We continue adding services that create value for Dash users to make it an increasingly relevant part of their everyday spending. Travala.com is a great match for the Dash network because both address the needs of the next generation of digitally-savvy consumers that embrace the benefits of digital currency.” Ryan Taylor, CEO of Dash Core Group said.
