Gate.io, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced an upgrade to its strategic partnership with
Travala.com, the world's leading blockchain-based travel booking services provider. Travala.com has launched on the
Gate.io MiniAPP, marking a new stage in its evolution; Gate.io users can now use cryptocurrency to purchase the traditional Web 2.0 online services directly through the MiniAPP.
In the future, the two companies will cooperate to explore more Web3.0-based travel booking scenarios, provide enhanced high-quality and reliable technical solutions for travellers and travel suppliers, and broaden the popularity and application of digital assets in the daily life of Gate.io users.
In September 2020, Gate.io partnered with Travala.com for the first time: GT was integrated into Travala.com as a payment option for the platform's travel products, expanding Travala.com's means of payment.
The launch of Travala.com on Gate.io MiniAPP will significantly enhance the applied value of digital assets. As a platform that supports the most comprehensive trading services in the world, Gate.io users have access to over 1,400 cryptocurrencies. Previously, most users could only utilize finance-related services such as trading, holding, and collecting digital assets, to name a few. The partnership will allow Gate.io users to enjoy easy and convenient global travel services with a few clicks instead of making complex conversions between cryptos and Fiat, enabling Gate.io to further expand the ecosystem beyond its core crypto trading service.
Gate.io founder Dr. Lin Han remarked: "Our collaboration with Travala.com goes back to 2020 when GateToken was integrated as a payment method. Since then, they have seen tremendous growth and potential. Gate.io remains steadfast in building avenues for next-gen platforms, like Travala.com, that advance the blockchain industry." And
Gate.io MiniApp Director Feng Zhou stated: "With the MiniAPP, we aim to offer a wide range of high-quality applications catered to the new generation of crypto users. Travala.com fits the bill, bringing innovative crypto-friendly travel services to our worldwide userbase and executing on the level of other established non-crypto-friendly providers."
Travala.com CEO and Co-founder Juan Otero stated: "Integrating
Travala.com with established exchanges like Gate.io is crucial to the widespread adoption of cryptocurrency as a medium of exchange. As the bridge between fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies for millions of users, exchanges are the focal point of most global crypto activity, and connecting directly to them considerably simplifies crypto commerce.", Travala.com Head of Business Development Shane Sibley stated: "Expanding our partnership with one of the world's longest-running exchanges will play an important role in continuing our mission of bridging the gap between crypto and travel to make travelling with cryptocurrencies more accessible, efficient and affordable."
The development of the crypto economy cannot be achieved without utilizing and evolving traditional markets. Gate.io has always been committed to promoting the large-scale popularity and application of crypto assets worldwide. This cooperation with Travala.com will prompt the use of travel products as the entry point to bring the Web 3.0 lifestyle into people's daily lives.
Founded in 2017 and now backed by industry giant Binance, Travala.com is the leading cryptocurrency-friendly travel booking service with 2,200,000+ properties, 400,000+ activities in 230 countries, and 600 airlines globally. Travala.com is a champion of cryptocurrency adoption, accepting over 80 leading cryptocurrencies along with traditional payment methods. In addition to unbeatable prices via its Best Price Guarantee, Smart members on Travala.com can also enjoy additional discounts and loyalty rewards for eligible bookings made on the platform.
