Crypto Exchange Services Become Increasingly Accessible As ‘Crypto Tourism’ Grows

In spite of cryptocurrencies’ volatility and erratic valuations, they garner interest among users and non-users due to the speed of innovation and new ideas. One of the emerging trends to come out of the crypto space is ‘crypto tourism,’ which is a new take on travel that is geared towards crypto users and enthusiasts.

Tourism is a large industry, generating $8.8 trillion in 2018. Southeast Asia, which is among the most popular tourist destinations in the world, collectively hosted approximately 130 million visitors in 2018; and this is expected to rise to over 155 million by 2022. Alongside the adoption of cryptocurrencies around the world, it is not unlikely for crypto tourism to become a significant force in the gargantuan tourism industry.

However, as the market for crypto tourism grows, the need for stable, secure, and viable currency exchange platforms catering to the needs of crypto travelers has become increasingly salient. Unlike fiat currency exchange services that are ubiquitous in major tourist destinations around the world, finding those aimed at crypto users may be more difficult as they are not as readily available at this time.

Nevertheless, this is slowly changing as options are becoming increasingly accessible in Southeast Asia, particularly in places such as Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia. As these places become more crypto-friendly, several service providers have emerged to give crypto holders a way of visiting without worrying about access to funds.

This article will explore a few of the options available for crypto tourists visiting Southeast Asia.
