       both national and international applications. It is based on

       transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
       industry.

1.3    Principles

       RESRSP may be used for the following functions within the
       Interactive Reservations Scenario for Travel, Tourism and
       Leisure:
       
       (1) To respond to an initial reservation request for a hotel,
       rental car, train trip, airline flight, or tour.
       
       (2) To respond to a request to cancel, ignore, or modify a
       reservation.
