GATE, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges with over 35 million registered users, today announced the launch of Gate Travel, a fully integrated travel booking platform powered by its first native web3 hotel, flight booking engine Sleap.io.
Gate Travel allows users to directly search, compare and book over 1 million hotels and global flights within the Gate app. Travelers can pay via GATE Pay or via Crypto via a wide range of Fiat Payment options, including credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Payment availability is automatically tailored to your country and complies with local regulations.
The launch is the result of months of close collaboration between the Gate and the sleap.io team, working side by side with product design, localization and technology integration to ensure a seamless user experience. This joint effort includes building a multilingual platform, optimizing payment flows, and aligning customer support processes to serve the global audience of gates.
This milestone is a major step in expanding gates, beyond trading into lifestyle services, enabling the global community to use crypto for real travel. SLEAP.IO offers complete travel technology infrastructure, hotel and flight inventory, payment systems and customer support, and GATE offers its large global reach, trusted brands and a very enthusiastic user base.
