Bitcoin was invented for the reason of being used as a method of payment and replace local fiat currency. After the step that the German Tourist Board has taken, it seems that it is moving closer to its goal and succeeding in the purpose for what it was created for.
This will surely increase the currency aspect of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as it will encourage common people to use it in their daily life usage in markets and shops etc.

Petra Hedorfer, chair of the board of GNTB, explains: “Within our digitalisation strategy we continuously test newest technologies and trends to see if they could be useful for our company. Through accepting cryptocurrencies as a payment method and the possible medium-term implementation of the blockchain technology in our finance sector our international company wishes to set ourselves apart as an innovator and instigator within the tourism industry.”

This is a very strong statement and it shows how the acceptance of crypto currencies is soon becoming widespread and the day is not too far when such kind of realization would dawn upon every global organization. It shows that how people have started accepting the crypto network and they value the fact that it is a step ahead towards innovation and henceforth the furtherance of economic development of a nation.

Great news! The block chain technology offers interesting perspectives in regards to speed, transparency and security. Experts are expecting enormous improvements and saving potentials with, for example, international transactions.

This is a great news for crypto. First from France and now from Germany. Hope to see more adoption of crypto in the EU and the rest of the world.

While this is goodnews, we can't inflate the news that we're getting. This is a random tourist board that isn't going to mean anything anyway, we need the companies inside the country accepting -- not government agencies. Both are nice, but we need more companies then governments as there are many more companies!

I think they definetely know how to attract foreign people, it is good news, most people want to spend their coins in daily life, visiting other countries would be an good way to spend coins.

This is interesting news because we are talking about an important institution in a leading country in europe.

Tourism is one of the fields where the implementation of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is most interesting. One of the usual concerns of tourists is having to make the currency exchange from one country to another. Bitcoin can act as a global currency with which a tourist can pay in another country without having to exchange their fiat currency to the local currency.

This is good news for the bitcoin lovers that day by day bitcoin is getting popularity from all over the world. And this is a good news for bitcoin habitants that German National Tourist board are taking bitcoin and it’s very motivational also.
