The Current Problem
Air and Hotel booking processes are often not standardized in travel agencies.
Travel bookers typically shop for air and hotel rates across a variety of channels:
e.g. the GDS, 2 to 3 websites, proprietary hotel databases etc.. This is an
extremely expensive and time consuming process
Non Standardized Booking Process
Limited Comparison
Pre-Internet Data Standards
The systems used by travel agents are mostly based on pre-internet standards
that cannot easily duplicate what is available on airline or hotel websites.
Consumers booking an air ticket or hotel booking via a travel agency (in person or
online) can only compare what airlines or hotels are offering on limited parameters
such as price, schedule, room types etc

The Current Problem
Lack of product attributes, facilities, policies etc. Customer would benefit if they
had access to all of an airlines or hotels products and services, regardless of
where they shop
Limited Transparency
Ancillary revenue limitations
Challenge for crafting personalized offers
Limitations on providing personalized offers across multiple products (air and
hotel combined) based on Customer preferences if they choose to identify
themselves. for example by providing a frequent traveller number
Today’s platforms provide only limited capabilities to allow an airline to connect
speedily to new content sources (hotel, car, etc.) for leveraging ancillary revenue
opportunities and distribute via the travel trade
