Webjet travel agency has become the first in Australia to allow its customers to book holidays online with bitcoin. Customers can purchase travel deals using the crypto currency software on their smartphones.
The payment option is being trialed on Webjet Exclusives – a holiday package arm of the global travel booking operation and could soon be introduced for flights, accommodation and insurance.
CEO of Webjet Exclusives Paul Ryan said the company had more new payment methods in the pipeline in the realm of mobile wallets.
