Destinia now offers users the option of paying for their hotel reservations, flights, travel packages and train tickets with six different cryptocurrencies. In addition to making payments in Bitcoin, which the company has been accepting since 2014, it is now possible to pay with Bitcoin Cash, Eros, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dash<\/strong>.
\nSince becoming the first European travel agency to accept payments in Bitcoin, Destinia has continued working to expand payment options and facilitate the process enabling clients to use their preferred payment methods. To this end, in July of this year, the company began testing a payment platform that would include new cryptocurrency wallets. The platform has since been implemented and is now fully operational<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Destinia\u2019s philosophy is to open as many doors as we can, to offer a variety of payment options to facilitate the traveller\u2019s experience. In this way, we expand our reach and adapt to the realities of today\u2019s world\u2019, indicates Cristina Verdi, the person responsible for payment methods and cash management.<\/strong>
\nThis is a logical next step in Destinia\u2019s ongoing strategy of using technological developments to serve the needs of users. And the results are clear: in 2018, 7.23 percent of Destinia\u2019s clients chose to pay for their purchases with Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Now, users of the Destinia website can choose the cryptocurrency the prices will be displayed in or they can choose their preferred cryptocurrency when finalising the transaction.
\n\u2018With our new partner, clients can use various wallets<\/strong> to finalise their purchase and select the cryptocurrency they prefer. This way, we offer a process that\u2019s quick, simple and secure\u2014fundamental features for any eCommerce user\u2019, adds Verdi.<\/p>\n

Destinia, a pioneer in payment method innovation<\/span><\/strong>
\nIn January of 2014, Destinia became the first European online travel agency to allow payments with Bitcoin, offering clients the use of this method to book and pay for all of the company\u2019s products.<\/p>\n

Since then, the brand has not stopped expanding its payment options in order to facilitate its clients\u2019 transactions. To date, Destinia accepts payments through traditional methods<\/strong>, including credit and debit cards, wire transfers, direct deposits and instalment plans, as well as innovative new methods<\/strong>, including cryptocurrency, PayPal, Amazon Pay, immediate financing through Apl\u00e1zame and payments made through the Bizum mobile app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
