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
