Travala’s plan is to integrate blockchain technology with structures that use tokenized incentives. TRX isn’t the only coin accepted by Travala. The company accepts a number of cryptocurrencies such as BTC, XRP, EOS, BNB, DAI, DOGE, NANO etc.
Travala is giving crypto adoption a much-needed boost, giving it an entry point into the travel industry. Increasing global awareness of the crypto industry.
TRX is actually the 15th coin adopted by Travala.com. Alongside TRX, the company recently adopted the AVA coin to its list.
Travala doesn’t work with crypto only, it also accepts payment through conventional methods like PayPal, credit card payments etc.
How will Travala adoption reflect on TRON?
Looking at the impact of the TRX adoption by Travala, there were no changes in the coin’s price. 2019, had been quite an experience for TRON, its first major move was the launch of BitTorrent Token (BTT) on January 28. The coin after that experience a few price surges but most of its effect was nullified by the raging bear market.
At the time of this writing, TRON’s coin TRX has seen 2.85% gain in the last 24 hours but so has the entire crypto market. This simply means that the increase in price most likely isn’t as a result of this adoption.
