Tourism and cryptocurrencies have created, slowly, a relationship in which travelers bet on these assets to travel the world. In this way they can make cross-border payments without using fiduciary currencies and change cryptocurrencies to the currency of the country they visit quickly and even without intermediaries, in portals such as LocalBitcoins that work around the world.
Due to the long awaited World Cup Russia 2018, multiple companies and agencies decided to give users the possibility to take attractive options and enjoy their trip without spending a lot of work. An investigation of the Criptonoticias portal explains that to get to Russia using cryptoactives, CheapAir is an option, since the company offers the possibility of paying flights using cryptocurrencies, also with a low cost offer profile that make it an attractive option. Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash, Litecoin and Dash are the payment options.
Already on Russian soil, users have options to move to stadiums. The Wheely Business taxi service accepts bitcoins since 2014. Passengers who so desire can recharge funds in their personal account on the company’s website, where each customer must link their personal account with a credit card.
In addition, cryptocurrency enthusiasts will also be able to buy their tickets for matches. Since Fifa and Visa are partners for the realization of this competition, and thanks to the possibility of using the MasterCard payment platform, fans can buy their tickets with cryptocurrencies, at least indirectly, using services such as Epayments and Wirex.
Also, the hotel chain Apartments Malina became the first company of this nature to allow its guests the opportunity to pay with bitcoins. The company partnered with the Russian payment company Free-Kassa, which offers services associated with cryptocurrencies such as electronic portfolios for the management of funds. Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin and Ripple are some of the coins compatible with the Free-Kassa wallet.
According to experts, the largest sporting event worldwide increases the chances of witnessing a massive adoption of cryptocurrencies as a method of payment in Russia.
