Travala.com a sleeping giant ready to shake up Travel world

in #travel6 years ago

Hi there crypto enthusiasts, after 9 months taking a break I’m back again with full energy. To share this positive energy with you I will share some insights and reasons why several crypto project with working products are worth investing in.

After the disappearance of weak brothers, the strong remain

Since August 2017 I followed many crypto projects. And during that time everything was possible. Volume at crypto alt markets was building up and bitcoin price was rocketing like it could never stop. Crypto was hot. Almost everywhere there was a positive vibe with booming prices as result. Even POS coins (sole purpose to generate passive income) gave massive profit if you bought them at the right time.
But, that’s all history. Now POS coins can only survive if they’ve created a real use case. Most of them were scamprojects and are disappearing every day.

And that's a good thing. Fraudsters only put crypto in a bad light. As a result of these practices real existence of crypto gets snowed under. On the other side real good blockchain companies with working products that offer an advantage over existing companies will automatically attract more attention. Simply because a good product ultimately sells itself.

Travala.com…?!?

To give an excellent example. Take Travala.com. 'Who?'
It’s Travel(a) with a twist. It’s an accommodation booking platform like booking.com. Take a look at their website (https://www.travala.com/).'So what!' you may think. ‘Why go to Travala.com, while you can book your holiday cheap on booking.com.’

Travala.com is on average 15% cheaper than all others
I’ll tell you why you want to go to Travala.com next time. Booking.com / Expedia already offer cheap hotel prices via an easy to use website. Travala.com offers the same hotels, but you can save on average 15% and sometimes as much as 40%. Very impressive in my opinion and worth reading further. I shall explain how this is possible. To understand the difference I’ll give you a closer look of working methods of booking.com and Travala.com.

What’s going wrong at booking.com?

As a mediator between consumer and provider, Booking.com receives a commission for every room that is sold through the platform. That is usually 15 percent, but some hotels pay up to 35 percent. With a room price of 120 euros, 30 euros goes to the booking site.

Which surrendered revenue must be recouped somehow.. The hotels calculate this in the room price. As a customer you ultimately pay the bill. And so booking sites make hotels more expensive instead of cheaper.

Travala.com.com innovative technology

Travala.com is a hybrid booking platform taking the best of travel technology and combining that with a tokenized economy using their token AVA.

They work with over 15 of the very best wholesale net rate accommodation providers through very innovative technology that combines retail and business rates within the same platform and aggregate all the offers to present the very price for the customer. When you combine this with dynamic pricing and clever marketing they can offer on average 15% cheaper rates and can sometimes be up to 40% cheaper for consumers as you will see on their blog https://blog.travala.com/

Half a million hotels now, soon to be 1.5 million

Despite the fact that Travala.com.com has not been around for very long, the impact can already be described as impressive. With a range of 567,928 accommodations in 210 countries with 82,311 destinations Travala.com.com has taken a step to become one of the world largest booking sites. In the next update the number of accommodations will increase to 1.5 million.

The look and ease of use

The website looks simple, but is well-arranged and is not at all intrusive with all kinds of advertisements. At the top of the website you’ll find the search bar where you can enter your holiday destination. What is striking is the somewhat slow indexing (loading) of the search results. After my search "Venice" it took about 20 seconds for the results to appear on the screen but I believe this will be no more than 3 seconds according to the team on future updates. If we scroll down a little we see a beautifully sorted series of images of holiday countries. The website feels nice, is clear and scrolls smoothly.

Many payment options

There's always a way to pay for your holiday. Just look at their payment options. It´s incredible! Travala.com has its own AVA token to pay with. They also have the leading cryptocurrencies which is excellent for crypto adoption as a whole. Besides crypto payment you can always use other known payment options like credit card, mastercard or paypal.

Booking Giveback 2%

Travala.com goes even further. Each user who registers and books via Travala.com gets a giveback of 2% in their Travala.com wallet. That Travala.com wallet is automatically created the first time you register on the site. This crypto wallet will be new for a lot of newcomers so this wallet should be simple and easy to work with. Each booking completed will automatically get a REWARD of 2% directly into their Travala.com wallet in AVA. No extra logins, no complicated key management, tangible rewards directly in your profile!

Once your booking is completed you get 2% of your final booking price back in AVA tokens.

SMART Discount and loyalty up to 10%

AVA Rewards can either be saved towards your next booking or if you are “smart” be used towards the SMART discount and LOYALTY program!

The more AVA you hold the greater your discount and LOYALTY rewards are! Hold AVA and lock it into the SMART tier of your choosing for some amazing discounts!

The tiered amounts of AVA to be held are as follows;

Invite a friend and earn both $20

Send friends and family an invite and they will receive a US$20 reward back for their first hotel booking and you will also get $20 for every invited friend that completes a booking of $50 or more. Rewards for referrals are given to both parties in the form of the AVAtoken.

Review Rewards

Review rewards are given to all users who leave an authentic review on the website in the form of AVA directly in your wallet.

Purchase advertising

Suppliers wishing to promote their properties to be a preferred search result have to pay for these services using the AVA asset. This could extend to a multitude of 3rd party travel related services such as promoting tickets to the Eiffel tower when you search for your hotel in Paris.The travel services that could benefit from this are endless.

Refund for Crypto bookings

Refunds for cancelled bookings with alternative cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin will be issued in the form of the AVA token that can be used to re-book at a future date or go towards the SMART program for increased savings and rewards.

Travala.com price

Today I shared information about Travala.com.com. I hope that reading the above details gives you a good insight why I have gained interest in crypto again. At moment of writing AVA token is worth € 0.14 a token. I’m curious what price it will be at april 25th 2020. My feeling says it should be worth 10x more next year.
