This integration allows millions of trivago users to discover and compare Travala’s properties worldwide. When selecting a Travala-listed property, users will be redirected to Travala.com, where they can book accommodations using over 100 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the Travala-native AVA token.

Travellers who book a property after discovering it on trivago can also earn Bitcoin or AVA rewards as part of the AVA Smart Program—regardless of whether they choose to pay with crypto or traditional payment methods.

Expanding Travel Options with Crypto

“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 choices for our customers while also broadening their ability to book with emerging payment options like cryptocurrencies.”

This integration comes as crypto adoption in travel continues to surge. Travala recently reported $100 million in gross yearly revenue for 2024, nearly doubling its previous year’s figures. With 78% of bookings made using cryptocurrency, demand for crypto travel solutions is reaching new heights.

Driving Mainstream Crypto Adoption

Travala’s CEO, Juan Otero, sees this partnership as a major step toward making crypto payments mainstream.
“Our integration with trivago is another key step in bringing crypto adoption to the masses. There are hundreds of billions of daily searches across travel metasearch engines, and adding Travala to trivago isn’t just beneficial for us—it helps further legitimize the entire crypto ecosystem by expanding the real-world use of crypto payments.”
