Destination Mapping country and city Each hotel suppliers uses their own country and city code to do their mapping for their system. As there is NO standard code being created or use by respective suppliers as this is due to the lack of common rule and direction guideline.

This has made Destination Mapping for country and city code extremely difficult and inconsistent. For wholesaler distributor, this issue is even more complex as a hotel provider might “divide” a city into zone or sub district and have different name to the city or island.

Example : City of Paris is divide into many zone: Paris-Massy, Paris Orly, Paris etc Island City of Samui as Ko Samui, Koh Samui, Samui Island, Samui etc

With more than 150 countries code and over 10,000 city codes – the hotel will not be able to display accurately and effectively.

At Infotechindex.com , we map all suppliers destination codes to a common source code [UWC] and kept them in Infotechindex.com so that the said hotel can provide their assigned UWC to the suppliers for both online and offline to obtain the hotel latest information and standards. The OTA will be able to obtain a full list of hotels for a specific country and city when they search at the hotel supplier site or when they integrate to supply to other system.

Hotel Mapping Besides Destination mapping for Country and City – most if not all hotel provider have multi vendor or suppliers and without prior standard to manage the hotel mapping profile, the search result will not be maximize and as such the hotel can lost out their online presence.

Infotechindex.com will provide only ONE unique web service code [UWC] which is assigned to the hotel. When OTA and Hotel provider uses the service of Infotechindex.com through XML/API to search from different source of suppliers – they will be able to abstract all the latest of a hotel and displayed out accurately. This process of connecting to Infotechindex.com will SAVE time and money to them and getting maximum hotel search being displayed correctly.

Room category mapping Due to system limitation in function and lack of understanding, most hotel provider will not be able to display hotel room category correctly. They were each be naming the room category type differently according to their own knowledge and as such your hotel might not be pick up when there is a online search as each supplier has room category being named in their system.
