This is EPIC!
I know right?! The other night when @veenang, the guy who made it all possible approached me to have a slot for #teammalaysia's Teh Tarik Sundays which is a talkshow where authors are given 2 minutes to promote their post of interest, he told me that he had a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT.
Those were his literal words that got me on my feet. I was so excited to hear this news first hand from the man himself and I immediately told my partner, @branlee87 who hosts Teh Tarik Sundays together with me. We both ended up dreaming about future possibilities and how we would do a #dlive video in a suite of one of the hotels we booked. We even plan to #dlive a friend of ours in slo-mo coming out of one of the hotel's grand swimming pool and we would end the video with....
The adaptation of STEEM around the world in businesses/services/payment systems is definitely the future of where STEEMIT is heading. Why do I say this? This is because Steemit is a social platform and it has a community of hundred thousands of millions of people around the world.
We also have a #teammalaysia member @danielwong who runs a burger joint and has allowed customers to use STEEM/SBD to pay for their meals as well. And let me tell you, it is the most surreal experience ever when you just have to take out your mobile phone and transfer the STEEM/SBD to him. Cashless society.
Back to the highlight of this post.
@veenang runs a travel tour operations in Sabah, Malaysia. About two months ago during MATTA Fair, he announced that his services will be adopting STEEM/SBD for tour packages if you're travelling to Sabah. This was his first venture of adopting STEEM/SBD. And just about two months after, he announced that in collaboration with www.hotels.com, he is able to offer pay with STEEM/SBD services to ALL HOTELS under hotels.com.
Currently the booking is only open to hotels in Malaysia, but it is an amazing start!
How do I book a hotel?
- Go to www.hotels.com.
- Under Hotel search, choose your preferred Hotel and Room Category.

What are you waiting for?
Steemit has definitely open up many new opportunities for businesses/services. This is the perfect example of adopting the STEEM ecosystem and I'm sure there will be more businesses venturing into adopting STEEM/SBD in the future.
