Hotel Shopping and Booking

Several options are available for Hotel Shopping and Booking.

Workflow

Description

Standard Hotel Shopping and Booking

Hotel shopping and booking with the intuitive screens and displays in Smartpoint.

Shopping and Booking with Hotel Retail

Hotel Retail integrates into your hotel shopping and booking workflow to provide all relevant hotel information in one place.

Hotel Retail is included in the main Travelport Smartpoint installation for all agencies.

Both Standard Hotel Shopping and Hotel Retail use the same availability Search window. By default, Hotel Retail is enabled. However, if you disable Hotel Retail, the search returns a Standard hotel display.

Hotel Index Returns a comprehensive list of properties, regardless of availability.

Hotel Direct Sell

If you know all of the required booking information, you can sell a hotel segment directly without using a rate plan from a previous availability response.

Hotel Passive Segments

Passive segments are used to record booking data that is from an external source or is not part of an active travel segment.
