UBUD, Indonesia - Nov. 14, 2014 - PRLog -- Viceroy Bali is pleased to announce that, yes, there is something new under the sun! Since November 2014, the Balinese resort is now accepting Bitcoin transactions.

Bitcoin, a growing global phenomenon, is a decentralized digital currency—like cash—only it’s used solely over the Internet via a password-protected personal account. It is efficient, secure, entirely digital (no paper money) and decentralized (no government, bank or borders).

“We’re always looking for ways to enhance our guest experience, and by implementing Bitcoin our guests can relax without worrying about methods of payment,” says Anthony Syrowatka, Viceroy Bali’s General Manager. “The speed, simplicity, and low cost of Bitcoin transfers make using it preferable to traditional payment methods like bank transfers and credit cards.”

So what does the acceptance of Bitcoin mean to Viceroy Bali guests?

Efficiency. With Bitcoin, guests need never wait for the resort’s staff to process their credit cards or bring change, nor must they sort through cash currency or even sign receipts -- it's all done in less than 15 seconds via smartphone.

Security. When guests purchase goods or services using Bitcoin, no private data is shared with anyone, so there is no backend to hack, no credit card information to steal, and no fraud to fear. Bitcoin can't be stolen in person either, as it is both digital (no cash to grab) and pin protected (like an ATM on a smartphone). The only person who can spend a guest’s Bitcoins is a person who knows the guest’s personal wallet password: the guest (and his or her loved ones).

Cost Effectiveness. Bitcoin is accepted globally and knows no borders. What this means is that a guest never has to waste time (or bliss) or lose money hunting down the best currency exchange rate -- or accepting whatever exchange rate the guest’s credit card company desires to “offer”. There are no credit card fees, either.

About Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a new currency created in 2009 in a new field known as cryptocurrency, where digital transactions are made with no middle men, no transaction fees, and no need to use your real name. Bitcoins are acquired originally by purchasing them from a “bitcoin exchange” via a bank account or accepting them as payment for goods and services. People can also sell bitcoins on bitcoin exchanges or transfer bitcoins digitally to each other using mobile apps or computers.

Bitcoins are stored in what’s known as a “digital wallet,” that exists in the cloud or on a user’s computer and is used as a virtual bank account to pay for goods or save. Users are identified by their “wallets” and not by personal names.

A revered tropical retreat in a country known for its hospitality and conviviality, the Viceroy Bali ever strives to enhance the convenience, relaxation, and privacy of its treasured guests, be they families, couples, executives, or those gathering for a celebration. And what better way to do that than by streamlining payments for accommodations, spa services, and more?

By providing the option of payment via Bitcoin, Viceroy Bali has married the timeless tradition of bespoke hospitality with the latest of digital conveniences, once again enhancing the ultimate luxury destination resort experience ... with something new under the beautiful Balinese sun.
