Traveling is a good activity that most of us like to do whenever we get some time from work and it is also needed to get recharged because we are humans and we cannot keep on working all the time. We need a break and traveling is the best option that can get us rejuvenated and recharged by exploring new places meeting new people and learning about the new culture and many more. I used to go for a travel trip two to three times a year before the pandemic but now things are slightly changed however I am now trying to come back to the previous situation when I used to travel quite often. I know many people around me have a similar thought that after the pandemic they are not travelling a lot but they used to do quite a lot before the covid pandemic.
Travel and hospitality is a big industry and multiple components are big-time revenue generations for this industry. What if we can use the crypto coins for any expenses related to travel then I believe it is going to make things better for us as part of the Crypto and even try to add more value to the overall global Crypto community. Yes, we have a platform where we can use Bitcoin and other cypto currencies to make travel bookings and in this post, you will get to know more about it.
Travala.com
Travala. com is a Travel platform built on the blockchain where we can make travel bookings by using cryptocurrencies and the good thing is that we get a variety of options to choose from for making the payment. This project was founded in the year 2017 and now it's almost six years old which means the platform is sustainable and it has managed to grow even when the bear market is going on. Any project needs to figure out the ways that can help to sustain and survive in a bear market and of course, growth is inevitable in the bull market. this platform has got a bunch of options including hotel bookings, air travel, and other activities including. It is not limited to one country instead it provides booking options worldwide and you can choose any country or place for making the booking all can be done by using cryptocurrency however they have also provided the option to use a credit card if needed.
Founded in 2017, Travala.com has grown from a small start-up to the world’s leading blockchain-based travel booking platform trusted by thousands of customers worldwide as their preferred online travel agency.
Token Price
AVA is the native token for this platform called Travala.com and the current price is approx $0.49 in the market. There is not much fluctuation in the price because of the negative sentiment in the market which means the token has got a better use case in the crypto ecosystem and if we use the token on their website for the payment then we also get certain cash back. This is a good way because people who use their native token for the payment will lend them some discount in the form of cashback and this will certainly encourage people to use their token. I also checked the historical price for the AVA token and it was more than $1 at its all-time high so at the current price range it seems like the token is available at the discounted price of more than 50%. This is the market impact and almost every coin has gone through the same so this is the time when we can get most of the crypto coins at lower prices since we are in the bear market. no matter how good a use case a token has got but it cannot safeguard itself from the market sentiments so if it is bearish then the prices are bound to go down and vice versa.
Token Listing
Token listing on the exchange is very important for any project and here is the list of exchanges where we can trade the AVA token on various pairs. Below are exchanges that have got these tokens listed on different pairs. It is listed on leading exchanges including KU coin and Binance so there must be good volume in terms of trading and easy accessibility for sure because these exchanges have got a great amount of liquidity. In terms of the use case and liquidity, the token is doing pretty well because it is listed on some good exchanges and even it is listed in one of the Indian exchanges called bitBNS.
Using the platform
I tried to register on the platform so that I can log in and see what options are available for registered users and I was surprised to see that they have provided a bunch of options to choose from if anyone does not like to go with the traditional sign-up process. Above all, they have provided the option to log in using the Boiance and This is great because now you need not register yourself and your exchange credentials can be used to log in on the platform I'm sure that they must have gone through all the safety and security aspects before providing this login option. They have also provided other social media plugins which are quite common and save time where the login process is also seen which means they are innovative and try to bring the best for their users
Crypto Payment Options
We get over 100 crypto coins for making the payment and this is good because we are not limited to one or some limited coin but providing a vast range helps us to choose any coin that we like and I am sure these are the leading ones as per the market cap. Although you can see our leading coins in the below snapshot you can also check out their website to see the complete list I have seen all the known coins which are in the top 100 and even more than that so there are multiple options to choose for making the payment.
Experience
Now it is time for me to check how things work and what are options provided if I go for the hotel booking. I did search for a hotel booking this month in Mumbai and this is a metro city in India. here is what I can see after my search result which is for one day to keep it easy in terms of pricing I kept the currency as usd however they provide the option to choose currency. USD is easy to understand and calculate so I did not make the change because they picked it up by default. Like any other platform, they also provide every detail that is required for any person going for the booking including all the amenities and services provided by the hotel. I can check the room and choose my choice before making payment. they have also mentioned that if I do the login into my account then what cashback I will be getting in the form of an AVA token They provide free cancellation which is another benefit and booking also comes with breakfast included.
On the next page, I can see photos of the hotel and surroundings which looks great this is another feature that is provided by the platforms including the basic amenities or whatever is included in the booking. why I am highlighting all these points because this is the same platform as many others and you will not find any lack of information or the overall experience but the good thing is that we can book using the cryptocurrencies and that is the best part.
Travel Tiger NFT
As we know that there are certain membership programs run by different hotels and platforms so here also they have a membership program for some NFT holders. this is another good thing because this project is also involved with NFT along with the crypto tokens and by activating NFT you will be eligible for certain additional benefits exclusively for the members. NFT is another segment in the crypto market and because this is a unique art piece but a lot of platforms are providing this to their members and certain exclusive benefits are offered which I think is a good use case for NFT. It is great that these travel platform has already adopted the NFT and implemented a nice use case for the users.
Conclusion
Overall I find it a very nice platform for making any travel-related bookings and the use of cryptocurrency is also good because they have provided a variety of options for the users to choose from. I was not expecting that NFT could be here but This is great because they are the ones who have already implemented a nice use case for the NFT. This shows that the project is focusing more on innovations and trying to bring something that can provide the next level of experience for their users and that too keeping them loyal to the platform. After the pandemic, the hospitality and travel industry is growing so we can expect that traveller.com will be getting more attention and I will not be surprised if its token value crosses its all-time high price in the next bull run. I have not invested in this token yet but this is a good opportunity when I got to learn more about this platform so I will consider investing something in the token because anyways I'll be using the same for travel bookings and this can bring me some additional benefits.
