Hotel information (mapping)

In order to map the rooms and rates between the OTA and Smarthotel Channel manager, Smarthotel will send two requests:

  1. The OTA_HotelDescriptiveInfoRQ
  2. The OTA_HotelRatePlanRQ

With the OTA_HotelDescriptiveInfoRQ Smarthotel retrieves the room types setup and services with the OTA. Both will be requested through a separate request: one for Rooms and one for services. For Rooms an element and attribute <FacilityInfo SendGuestRooms="True"/> will be sent. For Services we will send an element and attribute <HotelInfo SendData="True"/>.

The second request, the OTA_HotelRatePlanRQ retrieves the rate codes setup at the OTA together with the sellable products in order to understand which rate codes are connected to which room types.

We expect the OTA to respond with the correct response in order to complete the mapping between the two systems.
