What is Open Travel Alliance (OTA)
The travel industry is comprised of many
diversified sectors, including airlines, hotels,
car rental companies, computer reservation
systems, travel agents and other businesses that
provide products and services to meet traveler
needs. Travel industry business and technology
leaders responsible for product distribution are
working together through the OTA to transform the
travel industry into one large global supermarket
of products and services.
6
What are the goals of OTA
The OTA is dedicated to helping the travel
industry take full advantage of the near
universal access to the Internet and related
technologies. By working in cross industry
sectors, each sector within OTA identifies its
particular industry needs and appropriate terms.
A final product of the alliance is a dictionary
of common usage terms used throughout the
industry. This dictionary of terms is being
compiled and used in XML specifications.

How alliance plan to meet its goals
Each sector of the industry has its own well
established industry accepted terminology. For
example, a "passenger" to an airline, may equal a
"guest" to an hotelier, a "customer" to a car
rental company, or a "client" to a travel agency
or online service provider. Working together
within OTA, each industry sector defines its own
host terms, having the XML dictionary interpret
and mesh the data into a common language for
communication and use.
