Cardano (ADA) and Paying for Hotels? Why Not

Travala.com, the crypto-receptive hotel booking service, announced today the addition of ADA as a payment option on its platform.

Staying and paying with crypto has never been easier. According to a post on Travala.com official Twitter handle: “Travala.com adds Cardano $ADA as a native payment option to book 1.65M hotels globally.”

The tweet further disclosed that the listing also comes with a promotional offer. All accommodation bookings paid for with ADA will be qualified for an exclusive 5% ADA-Back. This offer expires on November 7, 2019, which means it would last for about a week.

“ADA community will get 5% ADA-back for bookings made in ADA until 07 Nov 2019 on Travala.”

In a press release, Travala.com disclosed that it believes the addition of ADA as a payment option will be advantageous to both parties. For ADA, it will help boost its adoption and also create worldwide awareness. Travala.com will also enjoy patronage from ADA’s large community of global users and investors.
