According to Binance Global VP of Marketing James Rothwell: “Crypto tourism makes international travel easier and safer for everyone. It is also an economical option, since there are no commissions, there is total transparency of the transactions and there are no exchange rate problems between different countries.. The ease of using cryptocurrencies while traveling is proof of the incredible global and widespread adoption we are starting to see.”.
Lauren and Jack will book their trips exclusively with cryptocurrencies to select international destinations, as well as all purchases and payments they make throughout their trips, using Binance Pay, a borderless, contactless cryptocurrency payment technology. And all while sharing travel tips and tricks on how to make crypto tourism a reality for everyone.

Each of the two will hide a Binance gift card in secret destinations, worth $25,000 in BNB each to help fund the dreams of “crypto tourism” of two lucky followers. Both influencers will leave a series of clues through the accounts @gypsea_lust (Lauren), @jackmorris (Jack) and @binance, and once the hidden prizes have been found, 25,000 USD in BNB will be directly transferred to each of the two winners. If necessary, two new Binance accounts will be created for the lucky winners to receive their prize.

We want to show people that crypto travel makes it even easier”.
