Some of the reasons GTA’s XML API is
considered valuable by our partners…
• With the rapid growth of the FIT online market, clients are
looking for ways to differentiate their business and deliver
competitive online reservation offerings. GTA XML has facilitated
this for many of our partners.
• With a single integration, XML offers worldwide destinations
and a real - time online reservation service, ensuring GTA XML
is a highly regarded solution and a key element in the future
growth of our partners’ business offering.
• Sophisticated businesses with a defined systems
infrastructure and path prefer to use GTA XML for the
ease of integration with their systems or sites.
• The flexibility and vast content available for their online solution
enables clients to operate FIT businesses without incurring
additional operational and sourcing costs.
• Cost savings derived from the technical and operational
support from GTA sales offices have been highly appealing.
GTA XML API – Key Features…
• Choose the modules that are right for you: The modules
currently available via our XML API include Hotels, Apartments,
Sightseeing (Regular and Tailor-Made) and Transfers (Private and
Shared). No other company provides the variety and quantity of
travel content available from GTA. From a single source, you can
choose the modules that are right for your business.
• Time saving: Access to the technical specifications and support
documentation for the GTA XML API is via the web, so you
can start developing as soon as you receive access credentials
from us. Increase revenue by accelerating the time to market
for new products; giving you the competitive advantage, faster
booking confirmations and no more duplicate data entry for your
bookings.
• Cost savings: Access via HTTP-POST means no software
or installation and maintenance is required. Real - time online
availability reduces operational costs. With access to vast
worldwide destination content & services, you can deliver
a worldwide offering with a one-time integration, saving
on additional development costs. We do not charge for the
connection to our back office system, therefore the only
cost will be the writing of code.
• Easy to use: XML is an industry standard method of
transferring data, so developers are familiar with it and will allow
for reduced development times and costs. A reduction in double
handling also means less scope for human errors.
• Efficiency savings: GTA XML enables you to integrate GTA
travel content with your own systems and databases so you can
develop your own real-time web booking engine that requests
information directly from GTA and translates it back to display
for the user. A payment gateway is available if required.
• Access to excellent negotiated rates: Access the excellent
negotiated rates of GTA. You pass on the competitive rates to
your customers and earn valuable commission in the process.
Hotel pricing is available up to one year in advance.
• VFM Rich Media Content: GTA works alongside the leading
distributor and producer of images and rich media content for
the hotel and travel industry, VFM Leonardo, whose content
library includes more than one million digital photographs,
videos and 360° virtual tours for over 80,000 hotels and resorts
worldwide.
What level of integration is right for you?
• 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.
• 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.
