This is the Airbnb of El Salvador but with Bitcoin

AirbTC gains ground in the tourism market of El Salvador offering a lodging platform that operates exclusively with Bitcoin (BTC). The initiative already connects to a global network of travelers with local hosts and seeks to challenge the domain of giants such as Airbnb through a low commissions model that promises to boost circular economies around the digital currency in the country.

The platform offers a reserve experience Similar to Airbnb, but without traditional financial intermediaries. According to his co -founder, Jake Seifert, significantly reduces commissions up to 18% that other similar services charge the hosts, benefiting more owners and travelers. In addition, it includes guarantee deposits and reimbursement policies to generate trust.

AirbTC already covers the main tourist destinations of El Salvador, from the beaches of El Zonte and Punta Mango to cities such as Santa Ana and Berlin. The service invites any owner to easily join, regardless of the size of their accommodation.

Seifert projects strong growth in the country, promoted by the security and tax advantages that El Salvador offers companies that promote the adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

The project transcends the simple business and promotes the use of Bitcoin as everyday money. “We must spend and replenish,” says Seifert in a new interview, warning that it is not just about holding.

To materialize this idea, AirbTC collaborates with initiatives such as my first bitcoin, training the hosts and ensuring that the ecosystem is maintained decentralized and active.

Seifert revealed that the project emerged years ago as a simple idea and took shape with its launch in August 2024. Since then, Airbtc has grown organically without external investment, connecting about 500 global properties, with 15% located in Salvadoran land.

“Our goal is to support Bitcóin circular economies. Every time a tourist pays with Bitcoin, generates movement in the community, and that drives real adoption. We believe that each state in El Salvador should have its own circular economy.”

The development of platforms such as AirbTC to El Salvador is not an isolated event, as it validates a major phenomenon.

As Cryptonoticia reported at the beginning of the year, a recent UN Tourism report revealed that the Central American country registered a growth of 81% in international visits since 2019, which positions it as The second country with the highest tourism growth worldwide. This boom is also reflected in income, which shot an impressive 206%.

The tourism growth of the Central American country responds directly to the adoption of Bitcoin, which attracts a new wave of travelers. The figures confirm it: only in 2024, he received 3.9 million international visitors. The combination of greater security and the opportunity to experience a Bitcoiner economy in the first person makes El Salvador a unique destination, and companies such as Airbtc into key pieces of its development.
