Distribution
Hilton Worldwide will provide data to buyers through Travelport's advanced GDS interface and make lowest available rates and complete hotel pricing available through the GDS
under the terms of a new content and
technology services agreement. Hilton joins Marriott International and
InterContinental Hotels Group in committing to these features, according to a
Travelport spokesperson. Through the interface, Travelport promises faster
system response times and real-time Hilton rate and availability information. Hilton
through the GDS will distribute all public rates, both restricted and
non-restricted. The complete pricing technology will enable Hilton to provide information
on rates, availability, rules and total cost—including meals, cancellation
policies, rate categories and commissions—prior to booking.
