What you are looking for, is not quite impossible. I know a Youtuber (not personally, but as a subscriber) who spends bitcoin quite actively to spend on his travelling. He has also appeared in few crypto related interviews and also interviewed ROger Ver in one of his videos. His name is David Bond and his activities are somewhat suspicious as well. So take proper caution if you plan to contact him in future. Below, is his channel link,

I personally watch his videos for Nikkey (his girlfriend) and not for cryptos. But I think, his videos may give you some clue on how to plan your travel if you are willing to use cryptos only.

However, as you have mentioned that credit card related frauds are increasing globally, please be mindful that bitcoin transactions are not reversible. But, credit card companies will still give you an option to chargeback in case of any frauds. So choose wisely! The world is not as friendly as it seems!

Hope this helps!

There are some projects out there that aim to provide such services, such as Travala. There is also a new provider called ShareRing which is going to launch on Feb 1 and support eVOA, hotel booking, tickets, etc, especially in Thailand. They're partnered with GW which is one of two official providers in Thailand.

Not many options available atm, however, slowly but surely pretty sure there will be a lot of them.

Many plane ticket purchases and hotel bookings today happen online, and often transactions are high in dollar value. Credit card fraud hits high-value purchases especially hard, costing billions of dollars annually (over twenty billion dollars in 2016) to the global business community. Now a growing number of travel businesses are open to credit card alternatives.

As a Travel blogger https://www.foodntravelstory.com/ even i want to travel the world without paying through a Credit card and want to use the other alternative of Credit card like Bitcoin. Is there any group member who has experienced the same and paid in bitcoin when they have traveled around the world
