0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Travel,
tourism and leisure information inquiry response - interactive
message (TIQRSP) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange
(EDI) between trading partners involved in administration,
commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional Definition
An interactive Travel, tourism and leisure inquiry response is
sent by a service provider in response to an information
request for a product or service.
1.2 Field of Application
The Travel, tourism and leisure information inquiry response -
interactive message may be used for both national and
international applications. It is based on universal practice
related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not
dependent on the type of business or industry.
1.3 Principles
The request message, TIQREQ, for which TIQRSP is the response
may be used to request lists of information or very detailed
information. An initial request might request a list of hotel
properties in a city. Based on the information returned, the
next request in the scenario might ask for detailed information
by specifying the item number for a specific property returned
in the initial response. The next request might then ask for
rule details from a list of rules specified in the previous
response.
TIQRSP may be used for the following functions within the
interactive scenario for Travel, Tourism and Leisure (TT&L):
(1) to respond to a request for a travel product or service in
a specific city or geographical region. The response may
include a list of products, such as a list of hotel properties
in a city, a list of rental car locations, or schedule of
trains.
(2) to respond to a request for detailed information for a
specific travel product. The response for information for hotel
might include a description of the property, all the room
types, recreation facilities at the hotel, transportation to
the property, and points of interest close to the hotel.
(3) to respond to a request for a specific type of information
for a particular travel product. The response might be a list
of the special equipment available for a car type, a list of
facilities at a train station, or the rules concerning
insurance coverage.
(4) to respond to a request for corporate information for the
supplier of a product or service. The response might include
the promotions available to the traveller, the supplier's
guarantee and deposit requirements, or the contact information
for the vendor code.
