If you plan to travel in summer, we have good news: in hardly any industry you can get bitcoins as far as in tourism. You can actually pack the euro right away. Whether flight or hotel, whether Italy, Caribbean or Amsterdam – there is also everything for Bitcoins. As an international currency, it is the perfect means of payment for travelers – and also for travel providers. Of course, it is not enough to simply pack the smartphone or private key and start. But if you book in advance, Bitcoins gets astonishingly wide.

Like all shopping guides, this also begins with a request: give your bitcoins out! What should a means of payment be good for if you don’t use it? If your bitcoins spends, you bring them to the people. If you are worried about starting the next rally with less in your pockets because you have paid with your bitcoins, it just buys after. You don’t lose anything with that.

If we turn to travel, we will come across a pleasant surprise: the offer is huge. It is possible that it is due to the fact that travel is an international business and every manager of a tourism company who misses to save change fees somewhere, instantly attend a basic course in “profit and loss account”. Also possible that the Bitcoin acceptance in the hard, global business of online travel portals is only a marketing stunt to attract more customers. You may not care about this – if you want to book your summer vacation with Bitcoins, you have ways to do so in abundance.

Travel provider

There are some general travel providers who accept bitcoins. The largest among them, Expedia, has so far only done so in the USA. When the option will also be activated for customers of other countries is still open. Maybe look at the side occasionally.

The Bulgarian provider Simplytravelonline, emerged from a business 2-business travel service provider, also accepts bitcoins from German customers. Likewise the Spanish travel broker Destinia. Here you can pay flights, hotels, rental cars and more with bitcoins.

For Costa Rica you can use the local travel provider Costa Rica Travel Market, and for Mauritius, Seychellen, Thailand, Canary Islands and Sri Lanka there is Go and Easy.

ETRWAS more special, but with claim is culture discovery: culinary and cultural trips in Italy must be booked here.

Flights

Bitcoin acceptance is also relatively widespread among flight providers. The two largest portals are Sky Tours and Cheap Air. Both find a large selection of airports and flights at affordable prices. BTC trip is also pleasant to use. On the other hand, Travel for Coins is a bit more cumbersome.

Apartments

If you just want to rent an apartment instead of a hotel, you can take a look at 9 -flat. Here private individuals from all over the world offer their apartments for travelers. You can pay with Bitcoins at 9Flats since April 2013. Hosts also have the option of being paid out with bitcoins.

ADORMO works similarly, a Bulgarian-German company. The website looks a little less professional than that of 9 -flat, but a look is worth finding to find attractive offers.

Hotels

An excellent contact point to find hotel rooms for bitcoins worldwide is Go City Hotels. The platform recently accepted bitcoins.

Individual hotels in such masses accept bitcoins that it would be idle to list them completely. If in doubt, a look at CoinMap always helps.org. On this occasion you can also explore where you can shop at your travel destination with bitcoins. Before I present you some randomly selected examples of the globe, I would like to point out to BedsBook – here you can book with bitcoins and 10 percent permanent discount hotel room in Prague.

From Argentina to Cyprus: some hotels take the bitcoins:

P.S.: As always, I sincerely ask for forgiveness if you also accept bitcoins, but do not appear in this article. Feel called to point out your own offer in the comment area. Thank you!
