(MENAFN- Khaleej Times)

Tripventura has confirmed that customers worldwide can now book hotels and tours using cryptocurrency. The platform currently accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, XRP, Binance USD, and leading stablecoins, making it one of the first international travel services to fully adopt digital currency payments.

The company said the step was taken to give travellers more flexibility and to support the growing demand for modern, secure payment methods.

“Travelling is about freedom, and payments should reflect that. By offering cryptocurrency as a standard payment option, we are making bookings faster, easier, and more inclusive for our customers. For international travellers, paying in different currencies often means incurring high conversion fees, delays, or banking restrictions. Tripventura's crypto payment system removes these barriers. Transactions are settled instantly and processed securely through a licensed payment gateway, with values converted into local currency for merchants,” said Adil Tanriverdi, Chief Executive Officer of TripVentura.

When booking through the Tripventura website, customers can choose“Pay with Cryptocurrency” at checkout. The system generates a unique wallet address for the selected currency. Once the transaction is complete, customers instantly receive confirmation of their booking.

Refunds and booking changes are also supported. If a traveller cancels or reschedules, they will be refunded an amount equal to the value paid at the time of booking. This process ensures transparency and fairness for users.

Benefits for travellers

The company highlighted several key benefits of the service for customers. First is borderless convenience - payments can be made from anywhere in the world without traditional banking barriers. It also offers speed and reliability, with instant transaction confirmations that avoid delays common in international transfers.

Another advantage is lower costs, as using cryptocurrency reduces the need for intermediaries and helps users avoid hidden fees. Finally, security and transparency are ensured through blockchain technology, which provides strong encryption and traceable transactions.

Positive response

Since the launch of crypto payments, Tripventura has reported a strong response from travellers in the UAE, Europe, Asia, and North America. Many customers have chosen to pay with digital currencies when booking long-haul flights and multi-country tours.

Globally, airlines, hotels, and online retailers are beginning to adopt cryptocurrency, but Tripventura is among the first full-service travel platforms to offer it across multiple booking categories. Industry analysts say the move reflects a broader trend of digital assets entering mainstream commerce.

“Travel platforms need to adapt to how people live and pay today,” added Tanriverdi.“We see cryptocurrency not as an alternative, but as a core part of global payments going forward.”

All Tripventura payments are processed through regulated financial partners. The system follows international standards for anti-money-laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures.

“To protect our customers, transactions are executed through secure channels and regularly audited. Personal data and payment information remain encrypted at every stage,” Tanriverdi said.

Tripventura stated that it will continue to expand its digital payment options as demand increases. The company is also exploring the potential for loyalty rewards linked to blockchain technology and investigating new integrations with global cryptocurrency wallets.
