Bali, Indonesia – 1 November 2025 — Bali Adventours is now accepting crypto payments through VaaSBlock’s VB Payments service, a setup that lets travellers pay in digital assets while the merchant receives fiat. Customers can book tours using Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), and more than 200 other cryptocurrencies. The point for the operator is simple: conversion and settlement happen in the background, so the business doesn’t have to manage wallets, pricing swings, or compliance workflows.
Making Travel Simpler for Crypto Holders
Crypto holders want to spend their assets on real services, but most travel operators still don’t accept it. That’s starting to change—especially when the workflow looks familiar. VB Payments lets a business accept crypto while receiving fiat, with invoicing, KYC/AML compliance, and crypto-to-fiat conversion handled behind the scenes.
For Bali Adventours, the pitch isn’t “go Web3.” It’s to add a payment option without becoming a treasury desk. The operator keeps the same booking flow and bank rails. The customer pays from a wallet.
Bali Adventours is the latest operator to test the model — and travel is one of the clearest use cases.
What Bali Adventours offers to Travellers
Bali Adventours sells bookable, fixed-scope experiences—exactly the kind of service where payments need to be predictable. The platform offers tours and activities across the island, from temples and waterfalls to rafting and ATV adventures.
The company leans on local operators and on-the-ground knowledge, which makes packages feel more tailored than a generic marketplace. Popular options include:
Bali Nature and Waterfall Tour
Uluwatu Sunset and Kecak Dance Tour
Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking
Ubud Rafting and ATV Combo
North Bali Temple and Lake Tour
The site is easy to use, and the prices are competitive. Many travellers looking for stress-free bookings choose Bali Adventours to arrange their holiday plans ahead of time. Now, with VB Payments integrated, they can also choose to pay with crypto instead of traditional credit cards or transfers.
VB Payments, a great fit for high-end Travel Services.
Travel operators deal with cross-border customers, high-intent bookings, and payment methods that vary by market. Crypto can add demand, but it also adds complexity—unless the system makes it look like a normal invoice. Here is how it works in simple terms:
The business (in this case Bali Adventours) sends a regular invoice to the customer.
The customer chooses to pay using crypto like Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT or others.
VaaSBlock accepts the crypto payment and handles identity checks and compliance.
VaaSBlock converts the crypto to fiat (like USD or IDR) and sends it to the business.
The business receives the payout in their bank account, without holding or touching any crypto.
For the merchant, the value is risk reduction. No wallets to secure. No exposure to token volatility. No new compliance workflow to stitch together. Bali Adventours gets paid in fiat and keeps operating as usual.
Why “crypto-to-fiat” matters in travel (and why “just accept crypto” isn’t enough)
Travel is unforgiving for payments. Bookings are time-sensitive, customers are often cross-border, and ticket sizes can be large enough to attract chargebacks. For an operator, “accept crypto” can quietly become a second job: wallet management, settlement tracking, and a front-row seat to volatility.
That’s why crypto in, fiat out matters. It’s the difference between crypto being a talking point and crypto being usable. The customer pays from a wallet. The merchant gets a normal payout. The messy parts stay behind the curtain.
As more mainstream businesses test digital-asset rails, expectations also change. Partners and customers increasingly want familiar assurance signals—controls that look closer to SOC 2 discipline than a Telegram promise, and security governance that resembles an ISO 27001-style operating model. In travel, protecting customer data and preventing payment disputes is not “Web3 culture.” It is table stakes.
For Bali Adventours, the upside is straightforward: capture crypto demand without inheriting crypto ops. If this category scales, it won’t be because every merchant becomes crypto-native. It will be because the plumbing gets boring—reliable, compliant, and invisible.
Raph Rocher, Co-founder of VaaSBlock, shared his thoughts on the partnership: “We are delighted to welcome Bali Adventours into the VB Payments ecosystem. Seeing a real-world business adopt crypto payments proves that crypto is not just for niche use cases. It belongs in everyday commerce. This is another example of travel oriented partnership signed by VB Payments and it shows the potential for crypto to open doors for both travellers and businesses.”
In other words: crypto only becomes “payments” when it works for normal businesses. Tour operators don’t want ideology. They want settlement that clears and customers that show up.
More partnerships to come
VaaSBlock is betting that the fastest path to adoption is boring execution: real merchants, real invoices, and fewer moving parts. The tourism and hospitality sector is one of the most promising fields for crypto payments. Travellers already arrive with crypto balances. Operators want a way to accept them without taking on extra risk.
The direction is clear: more tourism and hospitality operators are testing crypto rails when the operational burden is removed. If adoption spreads, it will be because the payment experience looks familiar to the merchant and the customer — not because businesses suddenly become crypto-native.
What users gain from this announcement
If you hold crypto and travel often, you’ve seen the friction: off-ramping to fiat, fees, and repeating KYC with every provider. VB Payments is designed to remove that loop.
With VB Payments, crypto users get a much simpler experience:
Pay directly in crypto for tours and services
No need to convert to fiat first
One-time KYC with VaaSBlock covers all future payments
Use your tokens for real-world experiences
For crypto holders, the pitch is simple: spend assets on real experiences, not just speculation.
A Step toward the Future of Payments
Crypto payments only work at scale if they feel easier than a bank transfer. For Bali Adventours, the workflow is deliberately plain:
They do not install anything
They do not need wallets
They get fiat directly
They keep their usual booking and invoice system
For customers, it’s a payment link and a wallet transfer. For merchants, it’s a bank payout. That’s the kind of infrastructure that can actually move crypto from niche to normal commerce.
What this signals for travel payments
This partnership only matters if it holds up under real usage: invoices paid on time, funds settled reliably, and no new operational headaches for the merchant. That’s the bar travel operators care about.
For customers: more ways to pay without extra hoops.
For merchants: crypto demand captured without running a treasury desk.
For the category: the winner won’t be the flashiest token — it’ll be the most boring infrastructure.
If VB Payments keeps the experience plain — crypto in, fiat out — more operators will test it. Not to become a Web3 brand, but because travellers are already showing up with digital assets and asking to use them.
