The Pavilions Hotels & Resorts partnered with leading London-based global crypto-payment gateway Coindirect to make this possible. Since July 2021, customers can now pay with 42 virtual currencies upon booking a stay at any of their properties.

El Salvador, under President Nayib Bukele, became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021, aiming to boost financial inclusion, cut remittance costs, and attract investment, despite concerns from the IMF and World Bank. The move, legislated in June 2021, mandated businesses to accept Bitcoin alongside the US dollar, supported by the government-backed Chivo wallet, which offered a $30 Bitcoin bonus to encourage adoption, though usage has been mixed. 

Luxembourg being one of the place where saw the vision of bitcoin (having one of the oldest bitcoin exchange Bitstamp is bitcoin friendly for travel. You can book flights from platforms that accept bitcoin directly even though some major airlines don't accept but few do accept bitcoin.

You can also book hotels, shop in boutiques using bitcoin, I think it's also one of the places that bitcoin gain ground on since 2011 that Bitstamp was founded there but is not really in concentration.

Bali used to be a haven for spending BTC, but with current government regulations, there is no longer any room for BTC as a means of payment. However, we have many trusted CEXs, you can exchange your BTC first for Rupiah, then use that shit FIAT.

List of the most trusted CEX in Indonesia:
(1) Indodax
(2) Tokocrypto
(3) Pintu

If you decide or have plans to go there, I have some places that you should not miss to visit, they

Sandman Hotel Group is among the first hotels to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment according to my research. They have been doing so since July 2014, and they have partnered with Coinbase to process Bitcoin transactions. This is because the company's vice president of marketing realized that more and more customers are interested in paying with cryptocurrency, and he emphasized that the company should start accepting Bitcoin payments because they have more than 60 hotels across Canada.

one of the places where I can add is Ljubljana, Slovenia.
It is a small capital city, but it is very modern and crypto friendly. There are such cafes as Bitcoin Cafe where you can obviously pay using BTC, there were also a couple of hotels and hostels that allowed paying with it, such as BitCenter Hotel.

  is Actually Pretty Bitcoin-Friendly country
If you're into crypto, Singapore is one of those places that really stands out. The government, through the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), has set up a clear framework for how crypto businesses can operate legally. That kind of regulatory clarity is rare in this space, and it gives exchanges and startups the confidence to build without constant fear of getting shut down. There’s no capital gains tax either, which is a nice bonus for crypto traders. Overall, Singapore strikes a good balance — they support innovation, but they also take compliance seriously. That’s why a lot of big names in the crypto world have set up shop there.

Known as the "Florence of the Elbe", Dresden in the south of Eastern Germany is known for several stunning historic buildings, like the Frauenkirche, one of Germany's finest baroque churches. There are also some very interesting art museums in the city. If you're more of an outdoor freak, you can visit the nearby Elbsandsteingebirge, a hilly forested region with interesting rock formations, ideal for trekking and spa tourism.

It was surprising for me to see that Dresden has a really good number of Bitcoin-accepting businesses for a city of that size (500,000 inhabitants), more than nearby Leipzig which has a higher hipster population. There are several accomodation options as well as food, places to drink beer and even a bakery Smiley See BTCmap.

Another interesting fact is that in Germany you have gift cards from several supermarket chains you can re-fill directly with Bitcoin.

I have checked Bali at BTCmap and there is at least one accomodation and several food businesses listed. So the entry of Bali here is OK. Maybe they circunvent the "payment prohibition" by simply declaring the transfer a barter. Normally everybody is free to exchange any (non-illegal) good for another good, and if one of these goods happens to be Bitcoin ...

El Salvador, on the other side, is really a low hanging fruit Tongue , but okay it's of course welcome here too. I'd like to know more about specific destinations there Wink

While a lot of places around the world are getting stricter with crypto, Hong Kong still feels surprisingly open when it comes to Bitcoin. The local regulators have taken steps to build a proper licensing framework, so legit exchanges can actually operate without looking over their shoulder all the time. It’s not a free-for-all, but at least there are clear rules. OTC trading is still alive and well, and plenty of crypto firms keep offices there because of the city’s strong financial system, low taxes, and connection to the mainland. Things aren’t as wild as they used to be.

Switzerland being an old European city is filled with so many beautiful places and monumental architectural beautiful and ofcourse beautiful and wonderful hotels and cold mountain for hiking and nature exploration

Switzerland is one of the place to visit and experience the freedom of actually using your Bitcoin and also enjoying yourself to the fullest.

I think if there is any place consider to be a safe heaven for Bitcoin then it would probably be Switzerland, I mean Bitcoin is virtually accepted in almost all city and there are countless shops and business that accept Bitcoin for payment.

They have been stories and evidence of even the town major and leaders of a city in Switzerland making in which shows the level of freedom of your use of Bitcoin over there in Switzerland Bitcoin acceptance in lugano

I think Estonia is one of the friendly countries that accept Bitcoin and Bitcoin users don't have to hesitate when it comes to it usage although just like every other countries one or two regulations are here and there but nothing taunting to affect the use of Bitcoin.

Prague is a gold mine to Bitcoin tourists. The city is historic with its beautiful castles and pavement road, yet there is more of a shock as to the number of businesses that receive BTC. BTCmap states the existence of more than 150 businesses (hotels, hostels, restaurants, etc.). There are such opportunities to have a good Czech dinner (such as Restaurace U Ceske Lipe) or stay in a hostel friendly to BTC (such as Czech Inn). It is also easy to find some Bitcoin ATMs around the place where one can cash out on them in case of necessity. It has long been a tech-savvy city, and it is also highly walkable, and you can stroll around such iconic sights as the Charles Bridge and spend your BTC

A vibrant metropolis with an immense cultural scene, and home to several Bitcoiners too. The long history of inflation and unstability has made Argentina one of the countries with most Bitcoin ownership in the Americas, and thus it's not surprising there are some hotels and restaurants you can pay with BTC. One can almost speak about a "Bitcoin district" in the city center, where you can find a Bitcoin-accepting shop in almost every block, and in total there are around 100 Bitcoin-accepting businesses. You can find restaurants, bars, Bitcoin ATMs, some few places for acommodation and shops at BTCMap here. The image shows Floralis Generica, a moving sculpture located in a big park, the perhaps most unique attraction of the city..

The city of Tucumán has about a million inhabitants and lies on the foot of jungle-covered mountains called the Yungas. It's a great place to explore Northwestern Argentina and has a lot of historic buildings, close to Salta, the Rio Hondo spas and the Quilmes pre-columbian city. This is actually the only interesting place in Argentina outside of the capital Buenos Aires where I have found both accomodation and food with payment in Bitcoin. The BTCmap location is here. Tucumán has about 20 businesses accepting Bitcoin, which is quite good for a city off the beaten track!

In Argentina you can also buy some gift cards with Bitcoin at Bitrefill, for example for the Carrefour and Dia supermarkets (at least Carrefour is present in both cities and many others too) and also some restaurants. See Bitrefill Argentina.

One of my favorite places in the world is Las Vegas, Nevada. Tons of places accept BTC there, including hotels. Plus they have a wide selection of Bitcoin ATMs all over.

If you go inside the Heart Attack Grill on Fremont Street, you'll find one of my favorite Bitcoin ATMs of all-time. It has very low fees, accepts a number of different coins, and you can cash out quite a bit before any kind of KYC is required. Was quite convenient. As for the food in there, I'm ashamed to say I've never tried it... They make you wear a patient gown when you go inside -- that was a dealbreaker for me..

With this two lovely countries for your vacation, you will be more surprising on the natural beauty of the environment in both Dubai and Maldives, because they were both known for the natural ambience for relaxation, pleasure and the greatest of the fun it's creates along side a coastal region where water makes the compliment to the beauty of their nature.

I haven't been to Costa Rica, but I have encountered countless of times posts, pictures, videos, stories, articles, and whatnot about people's Bitcoin experiences in that beautiful country.

I've read about the Bitcoin Beach Project in El Zonte in El Salvador, the Bitcoin City, the Bitcoin Island in my tiny nation, but there's also a Bitcoin Jungle Project in Costa Rica. The effort has the same goal: to try to create a circular Bitcoin economy. It's mainly focused in the Golden Triangle area of Puntarenas Province, particularly in the areas of Uvita, Dominical, Tinamaste, Ojochal, and Platanillo.

Anyway, just in case nobody would post about this place here. There must be hundreds, if not thousands, of all kinds of businesses in that country that accept Bitcoin payments. Are we unfortunate enough here on the forum to have never been graced.

Rosewood Hong Kong, many may already know about this hotel, but I am telling you about this hotel here that it is one of the best hotels in Asia and if we compare it in the world, it can be placed in 2nd position. It is located near to Victoria Harbor. A big feature of this hotel is that both the sea and the skyline of the city can be seen from here. The hotel is usually visited by big celebrities and those who own a lot of wealth. Here, everything from Chinese to Western cuisine is available. I hope those who are thirsty for travel will enjoy their time very much if they stay at this hotel.

It doesn't need much introduction. Its unique location in a lagoon with several islands and canals makes it one of the preferred destinations for weddings (like seen last week by Bezos/Sánchez) and romantic couple holidays in the whole world. Bitcoin is accepted in at least three lodging options and three restaurants according to BTCmap. The location can be found here.

One of Central Eastern Europe's most beautiful and historic cities, Krakow has also some places to spend your Bitcoin: at least one place to lodge and some shops and eateries. The central area with a biq square and the famous underground bars are a must see. Another interesting place is the historic Kazimierz neighborhood, where some of the Bitcoin-accepting restaurants are located. In addition the Tatra mountainous range is quite close, and if you want to see the horrors humans are capable of and learn from it, you can visit Oswiecim, also known as Auschwitz. The BTCmap location is here. If you need fiat, there seem to be several Bitcoin ATMs in the city too.

Location: Hancarri
Plot 7, Imperial Mall, Cartege Cinema House Okpanam Road, Asaba 320242, Asabaof Nigeria

Aside from being amongst the first innovators, this is also one way to put your business on the map and Hancarri.ng has got this in the bag. Spending Bitcoins directly would be a normal thing in the future but for now, people are more focused on accumulating and accepting Bitcoin directly in purchases is another means for the merchant to not just do business but accumulate as well.

Also known as Cuzco, the city is both well known for its stunning baroque architecture and for its closeness to the Macchu Picchu ruins, the most famous pre-Columbian city in the Andes. Cuzco was both the capital of the Inca Empire and an important urban center in Colonial peru, so you'll find a lot of history in the city and its surroundings. Despite of having only about 400,000 inhabitants, Cuzco is very touristy, so it's not too surprising that Bitcoin is accepted in some places. I have found two accomodation options on BTCmap and a couple of eateries, fortunately most of them close together in the city center

Currently, in almost some countries of the world, it is possible to pay for food or hotel bookings, including shopping, by paying through Bitcoin.

With the beautiful environment here and everything, I think it is a great city and it is also very beautiful in terms of environment.

This is a huge opportunity for crypto users.
