31. GTA XML – Introduction…
ACCESS, PACKAGE AND DISTRIBUTE A WORLD OF CONTENT, YOUR WAY…
What is XML…
XML is a language that describes data, and is used for data transfer between systems, most commonly between systems of different companies.
The abbreviation stands for eXtensible Mark-up Language.
The official definition: XML is a flexible way to create common information formats and share both the format and the data on the World Wide Web, intranets, and elsewhere.
GTA XML…
The GTA XML API enables you to access to our inventory, without using any of our sites (RBS/WBS/Partner Site or affiliate links), and output all information in a format that is common with your site or system.
XML solutions are extremely flexible, allowing you to define the information you want displayed and in what format it is presented in, making it easy to merge data from multiple suppliers and distribute content your way.

33. GTA XML – How it works...
What level of integration is right for you? Do you seek…
Partial XML Integration…
The majority of clients that request a partial XML API are price comparison sites and companies that do not want to manage transaction payments, including payment of the credit card fees and control of the fraud risk etc.
Fulfilment and payment should dictate whether a partial or full XML API is required. Partial XML clients integrate our products in their search facility only. When the price and availability is returned and the consumer makes their selection, it deep-links/redirects to our site to complete the booking and make the payment.
Full XML Integration…
The full XML API is aimed at those of our clients who have their own system or website with total control of the entire booking process.
The client fully integrates our product inventory into their site. It shows real time availability to all our products (except rail and shuttle busses). XML messages are used for both search and booking requests. Users can search for hotels in a format used by the client’s site. This enables clients to display & package our products together with products from other suppliers.

34. GTA XML – How it works... Requirements and provisions…
You will need to have:
A system or website for reservation processing.
Development staff with a good knowledge of XML.
We will provide:
A detailed online manual to enable their IT staff to write the program, including:
Specification documents.
Schema.
System design considerations.
Best practice recommendations.
A test environment on our side.

37. GTA XML – How it works... COMMERCIAL CONSIDERATIONS…
Consumer Site vs. Restricted Site

53. GTA Apartments – Introduction…
Apartment style accommodation offers a flexible and more cost effective alternative to hotels, providing a relaxed ‘home away from home’ space for those who value their privacy.
As many hotels cannot provide interconnecting or quad rooms or kitchenette, apartments are an ideal alternative for parties of 3 or more people and are especially suited for friends, couples or families wishing to stay together or with cooking facilities.
There is a wide choice of accommodation available to suit the needs of any traveller, including apartments, villas, cottages and ryokans, in a variety of destinations, from convenient city-centre locations to rural tranquil surroundings.

Return To Travel Content Menu

59. GTA Private Transfers – Introduction…
Imagine, you’re off the flight, you’re through passport control and you’ve survived the roulette of airport baggage reclaim. You walk into the arrivals hall and there it is; a sign with your name on held by a knowledgeable private driver or airport assistant who is waiting to whisk you to your local accommodation. You know you’ve made it! Your customers will love it!
Thanks to GTA’s Private Transfer option, this VIP treatment is no longer the preserve of business travellers. Leisure travellers can be met at the airport by a local driver meaning that there is no need to scramble for small change in local currency to pay for public transport.
And better still, your customers are guaranteed a seat and space for your luggage, with no need to trawl the airport with heavy baggage looking for the bus stop, or waiting in a taxi queue.

60. GTA Private Transfers – Key Points…
PRIVATE TRANSFERS AT A GLANCE…
5,000+ transfer options available in over 900 airport and city locations, so there's often a cross-sell opportunity.
Leisure travellers receive VIP treatment being met by a driver in the arrivals terminal.
Vehicles generally available to cater for individuals, couples, families and even larger groups.
Standard and deluxe car transfers often available to reflect the traveller’s budget.
Optional local representative speaking the traveller’s language available at many locations.
Advance booking and payment avoiding the need for local currency upon arrival at airport.
Travellers avoid queuing at cash machines, bus ticket booths or taxi ranks after a long flight.
No need for travellers to drag heavy luggage all around the airport or to negotiate an unfamiliar transport system.

61. GTA Private Transfers – Highlights…
Your clients will love it…
Think nothing of it…
