Popular travel booking site XcelTrip has announced that it will now accept BNB – the native token of top cryptocurrency exchange Binance – XcelTrip CEO Hob Khadka tweeted. There are 50,000 hotels on the travel platform who are now accepting payments in BNB tokens.

“#Announcements: @xceltrip now accepts @binance (BNB) for hotel bookings at http://xceltrip.com . We have over 500,000 hotels where you can spend with @binance Coin. @BinanceLabs @BinanceResearch @cz_binance @BinanceAcademy @BinanceUpdates @BinanceUG @BinanceHelpdesk,” the tweet read.

The travel booking platform offers services such as air travel, hotels, and vehicle rental. XcelTrip has already added seven cryptocurrencies to its platform – Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], Dash [DASH], NEM [XEM], Steem [STEEM], Ripple’s XRP, and Litecoin [LTC] – in July this year.

The Singapore-based tourism company allows users to book various hotels across the globe through its platform and as crypto adoption rises, travel enthusiasts can book their preferred destinations using virtual currencies that allow hassle-free payments.

XcelTrip also has its own token called XcelToken [XCEL], developed on the Ethereum platform. XcelTrip mentioned in its official website that travelers can use XCEL to pay for airline tickets, accommodation, vehicle rentals, restaurants, spas, etc.

When customers use the token for payments, they can access huge discounts on their purchases and can earn free XCEL. They also can list vendors and get referral commission every time a vendor receives a booking through the website.
