UAE Business: Binance launches cryptotourism with first crypto-trips – Gulf Digital News

Binance, the global blockchain firm behind the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has announced the first-ever crypto-sponsored vacation -- 'cryptotourism'.

Demonstrating how efficient, secure and simple travel is in a web3 world when one forgoes traditional currency and globetrot exclusively using crypto, Binance has teamed up with leading travel influencers, Lauren Bullen and Jack Morris, on a global crypto-only scavenger hunt that includes giving away $50,000 in BNB for those who want to join the movement.

Binance Global Vice President of Marketing, James Rothwell, said: "Cryptotourism makes global travel easier and more secure for everyone. It's also an economical choice, since there are zero fees, full transaction transparency and no country-by-country exchange rate issues. The ease of using crypto while travelling is a testament to the incredible mainstream global adoption we are starting to see."

Beginning on World Tourism Day (September 27), Bullen and Morris will book travel exclusively with crypto to select global hot spots, as well as all goods and services, using Binance Pay - a contactless, borderless and secure cryptocurrency payment technology, all while sharing crypto travel tips and tricks on how to make cryptotourism a reality for everyone.

The duo will each hide a Binance Gift Card in secret destinations,
