Travel Agent Software with Travel APIs (Hotel APIs & GDS)



Hotel consolidators’ apparently are brokers who buy in bulk and then resell at a predetermined discount thus creating a big pool for discounted hotel deals online and passing the savings on to their customers.


Some Hotel suppliers concentrate on every major tourist destination, big city or popular resort while some hotel suppliers concentrate on a particular geographic area trying to be most competitive on a key for the company market. Their activities involve buying blocks of rooms at volume discounts in certain major cities and distributing “excess rooms” offered by hotels not anticipating full occupancy for given dates. Same inventory of hotels are connected to online hotel booking system (hotel booking and reservation software).


Hotel xml suppliers are connected to travel agents and tour operators of the major cities and destinations to distribute the properties or hotel inventories. In comparison to individuals who contact hotels directly and ask for discounts, the consolidators are able to achieve deep discounts due to their buying power. Hotels are willing to offer dramatically reduced room rates to consolidators because they know it will yield a greater number of reservations. Many hotels are interested in selling room blocks (allotments) to consolidators, because they know that discounted rooms mean more business in the long run and subsequently a greater profit for them. To reach maximum local customers (end customer), hotel xml suppliers have started associating with travel agents and tour operators from each destination to sell their hotel inventories hence facilitate the distribution process.

With the rise in usage of internet, mobile and advance ecommerce / mcommerce system for major online travel bookings , hotel xml suppliers have started focusing on providing best price to it’s distributors for maximizing their sales. Hotel suppliers started selling their inventories through the mode of XMLs, which can be seamlessly connected with hotel booking system & travel booking systems. These XML’s can be easily integrated in the form of API’s and helps the travel agents to get their own white labeled solution.

Online Responsive Travel Website improves efficiency of your Travel Reservation System




Travel agencies, when they come to have their own travel website or travel portal are in a fix. Their customers access their websites for doing online travel reservations through their desktops, laptops, mobile phones, and tablets. Moreover, these gadgets use different platforms, browsers, screen sizes and resolutions. A responsive website is inevitable in today’s scenario. PROVAB TECHNOSOFT can build responsive websites along with a travel reservation system integrated in the website that looks and functions beautifully across browsers and devices.
Our team will see to it that, when your site is viewed in a small screen, the text will not be too small to read, the images don’t overflow on the screen, and ensure that it is fully seen. This will avoid the leaving of disgruntled customers who can’t view your site clearly. Instead, an online responsive travel website will take care of travel reservations through every customers and sub-agent’s mobile app and thus increase conversions and bookings through individual travel app by making the user experience and flow much smoother. Pictures and text will attain the optimal size for viewing.
Both will achieve the same result — having a site that is perfectly optimized for mobile devices in terms of text, photos, menus, and functions. The main difference is that mobile websites for hotels often exist independently from the main hotel website, operating under subdomains such as “http://m.hotel.com.” In responsive hotel website design, one site is created and the HTML and CSS code is written in a way that optimizes the site depending on which device it is accessed from.
Because responsive sites operate under one set of URLs, this is Google’s recommended configuration and is better overall for SEO purposes.
With PROVAB’s capability to build a responsive website for improved efficiency of a travel reservation system, you can optimize user-experience across all current (and future) devices in a single design — it will enable you to survive well in the ever-evolving digital world.

Power of Youth travel and travel technology



The research team of PROVAB TECHNOSOFT, leading offshore travel Technology Company in India, here presents how the young tourists warrant for new innovations in travel technology used by travel agents, because they are all heavy users of technology.
As per a PROVAB study, the main motivations that drive young tourists, globally, are price, possibility to book online, reviews of other users and connectivity while traveling. This indicates the necessity of providing the best seasonal discounts and cheapest rates, easy-to-use online booking site and mobile app, facility for your customers to record their experiences in the tourist place, and keeping your consumers connected.
For young people, not surprisingly, the most important factor when choosing a destination or make a reservation is price, followed closely by the opportunity to book their trip online. The latter is crucial. Young people do not go to the travel agencies but organize it directly from computer without leaving home. More and more bookings and purchases made via Smartphones and Tablets while the desktop computer seems to be losing relevance gradually. The idea is to book quickly and easily, in the shortest possible time, through a platform where it is possible to have various options, compare, and read reviews from other users.
The young sector of travelers depend too much on online comments. They check what other people have said about the place of their intended visit, before taking a decision. The young traveler is an expert in surfing tourist sites looking for opinions and reviews of other users.
In addition, young people use their smartphones and tablets extensively while they are traveling. They like to share experiences with friends and family. Facebook is the king here.
The young tourism is very dynamic. Young people travel, and travel a lot. It is true that they want to spend little, and usually have lower incomes than other older age groups, but also have more free time, so his escapades are more frequent and longer stays, which in the long term generates higher spending. They have withstood the crisis, which has failed to stop them traveling. For this reason, more and more companies and destinations are geared towards the youth sector, to diversify its market.
Young people are the future of travel and provides the best growth opportunity for tourism. It is they who push tourism businesses to innovate, to transform, and catch up on new technologies which they handle so profusely. Young people are demanding, are knowledgeable and know what they want, and are setting the pace of new tourism, molding it according to their needs and tastes.

Galileo GDS System, Galileo Airline Booking Engine– PROVAB TECHNOSOFT (info@provab.com)



PROVAB TECHNOSOFT (http://www.povab.com) is one of the leading Galileo Airline Booking Engine company, delivering best in class travel software and reservation system software to global travel management companies.
Get A Project Quote : http://www.provab.com/get_quote.html
For handling the ever growing network of various online reservation systems, there are the global consolidators, which consolidate the global travel data from various airlines, hotel providers and car providers. Such a system that aggregates and distributes travel related information to end travel management companies, is called GDS System / Global Distribution System.
GDS System is a centralized reservation system used as an ultimate access point by different travel agents for reservations on different reservation systems. It is a computerized travel reservation system that provides automated transactions between Vendors and travel agents who in turn provide booking services to the travellers. GDS works in 3 sectors namely, airline reservations, hotel reservations and car rentals. A GDS system connects all of these three sectors and a huge share of worldwide travel bookings goes through GDS and other consolidators.
The major GDS systems are Amadeus, Sabre, Apollo, Galileo, Worldspan, Abacus and Infini. These have links to the airline's database and provide all links to the travel agents who are the primary customers. Basically it is a medium used by various travel agents to access the seats, rates and booking information related to different airlines. It connects various such reservation systems all together within a single entity and also connects them to various other GDS present so as to provide combinational services like flights plus hotels or hotels plus rental cars etc.
The association between single ARS – Airline Reservation System and the GDS is so advanced that the booking systems and the travel agents access availability and pricing information in real time. Whole process of searching and booking and generating the PNR, can be finished in in no time. In case of ARS, whenever a booking is made, a PNR is generated that contains all the journey details for that passenger. GDS also holds the entire data in that PNR, called user profiling whereas ARS contains PNR details for that passenger only related to that particular airline.

GDS booking system with Multiple pseudo-city code (PCC) integration-PROVAB TECHNOSOFT (http://www.provab.com)




Pseudo-City Code (PCC) or a Subscriber ID is the Identifier that distinguishes one travel agency location from another. This code may be a 3–5 character code (alpha, numeric, or combination) on the basis of the GDS. PCCs are inevitable when adding negotiated rates, as these rates can be “defined” or secured to an agency by using their PCC.
PROVAB TECHNOSOFT, a leading GDS i. e global distribution systems integration company provides you travel XML API tool which integrates travel content and inventory from multiple supplier source systems and translates them into a unified XML format (content aggregation and/or translation). With our tool you can easily get access to all major global distribution systems (GDS directly, hotel providers, cruise providers, rent-a-car providers, bus operators, etc.
We supply the technology highway to GDS & Non-GDS content and you can access those content and inventory via a single XML interface. All travel products and services including low cost carriers listed on GDSs including Amadeus, Galileo/Apollo, Worldspan and Sabre will be accessible to you via our tool.
If you are planning to integrate with more than one GDS or other content source in near future, we can help you in that endeavor. We will provide you a single interface for multi GDS sources. This will be very convenient to you since you need to maintain just one interface instead of every supplier system separately. You need not worry about the time to time technology changes. As an authorized developer for all GDS's for over a decade, PROVAB TECHNOSOFT has the GDS and travel XML Interface expertise to make you ready for any technology update.
When you enroll in card services of GDSs like Sabre, select single location if you are an agency with only one location. Select multiple locations if you are an agency with more than one location. If you operate from more than one location you have to list Pseudo City Code of Primary Location.
To stay ahead of the curve, a robust travel software is the basic need of travel agencies today. Travel agent software, not only offers a 24/7 sales system for travel companies, but also provides a comprehensive web based admin to review the booking logs and users summary from any corner of the world.

Unlike Hotel Consolidators XML GDS (GDS Booking System) is also a source of distributing airline and hotel inventory.
The GDS Booking System was one of the earliest invention in the world of Internet Booking Engine system to improve the airline reservation system. A computer reservation system was used for reservations of a particular airline with the interface of this global distribution system (GDS). GDS is mainly used for distributing airline inventories. GDS also distributes the inventories for Hotel, Car etc.
All the information from the individual airlines vis-à-vis airline schedules, fare tariffs, passenger reservations and ticket records are pushed to this GDS system apart from their own in-house reservation system. This GDS system in turn works like a distribution channel. Travel agencies ,Tour operators and other indirect distribution channels access the same GDS as those accessed by the airlines’ reservation systems and all messaging is transmitted by a standardized messaging system that functions high level network. Message construction standards are set by IATA and ICAO, are global, and apply to more than air transportation.
To reduce the costly in-house reservations the airlines have decided to distribute the major contents (flight details and the seat availability) through GDS suppliers or GDS providers.
Following are the major GDS providers in the market
  • Amadeus Integration
  • Travelport (the merged version of Worldspan and Galileo Integration)
  • Sabre Integration
  • Shares Integration
