I am not sure if anyone used this term before here, but would like to discuss with you guys, when we have great and working opportunities and abilities to travel and use full services using cryptos and Bitcoin only?
So far we can get services, food, museums, etc. only at specific places and countries. It's impossible to travel using only digital coins probably.

So what are your thoughts and future vision about that?

Recently, I saw a topic here that a person travel in 2 or 3 country used around 1.9 bitcoin and with only 100$. So after this travel he found himself spend the 1.9 bitcoin and he didn't touch the 100$.
So, we can say, that travelling using our bitcoin is real; I mean we can use our bitcoin to travel and don't touch our real money.

Yes, that post was the following one:

Expedia is accepting bitcoin for hotels and flights booking. I like the point about Olympics in Japan, where Bitcoin is spreading pretty fast I think.

Yeah, I know it will take a time for tourism to get used to bitcoin more. But we're early adopters and every discussion starts a new chapter of cryptos.

Expedia is unfortunately accepting Bitcoin only in the United States -- or at least they are not accepting Bitcoin in Europe.

In general it seems like it's more easy to buy Bitcoin than to spend Bitcoin. At least Bitcoin ATMs and the likes seem to be more common than brick and mortar stores accepting Bitcoin. And sadly it doesn't look like that's going to change any time soon.

Destinia has been accepting bitcoin payment since 2014. I don't know in how many countries but in Spain they accept it, so I would say that the same happens with most European ones. I've searched for info about this subject and I've found the following:

http://blog.destinia.com/news/destinia-decide-operar-venezuela-solo-bitcoins

The article (Destinia's blog) says that they only accept bitcoins for local travel in Venezuela. So, they trust bitcoin more than a State-issued currency, although we know it is a very weak, devaluated, and volatile one.

So if you pay for the flight and choose full board accommodation using bitcoins, you have paid most of the expenses. Then, you obviously need some cash but in some countries, you will be able to find places where to buy with bitcoin directly.

I think it is just a matter of time until bitcoin tourism offer becomes significantly wider.
