Worldspan Hotel Select gives you connectivity
to information and reservations for hundreds of worldwide
hotel chains, representing thousands of individual properties.
An array of features enable you to make speedy, reliable
bookings.
Hotel AccessPlus (sm) reservations
receive instant confirmation numbers at the time of
booking, through interactive connections with hotel
suppliers.
Worldspan Hotel Source is our most
advanced hotel booking product, offering you a direct
link into the internal reservations systems of participating
hotels for live bookings. Hotel Source gives you the
same information about rates, rate rules, availability,
services, and amenities that are available through a
participating hotel’s 800 reservations number.
Integrated Hotel Source Availability
is a Worldspan-exclusive and industry-first product.
This enhancement provides true availability status obtained
directly from a hotel associate's internal reservation
system. When a hotel list entry is made, Worldspan sends
a message to the Integrated Hotel Source Availability
participant. A status code is returned based on the
availability status in the associate's system. The status
is indicated in a column to the left of the chain code.
Electronic Rate Update allows hotels
the ability to electronically update their rates in
our system, ensuring that you receive accurate and timely
information.
The SecuRate Hotel program allows you
to securely store rates which you have negotiated with
hotel companies.
WorldPoint (Geocoding) - Worldspan
assigns the latitude and longitude to each hotel property
in Hotel Select. The latitude and longitude is translated
to show the appropriate distance and direction in the
hotel list and hotel availability display. Users can
retrieve hotel list displays by reference point, city,
airport, or zip code. Reference point lists can be retrieved
by state, country code or worldwide.

everything to the client right then and there, without
extra phone calls to the vendor or your client. With
Worldspan Car Source's exclusive functionality, you
can even comparison shop for the best corporate discount.
Worldspan Car Select provides availability,
booking, pricing, confirmation, and rules for rental
car companies worldwide. Car Select also offers multiple

that allow you to quickly and efficiently research and
confirm your travelers' requests.

of booking through direct communications links to the
participants' internal reservations systems. AccessPlus
bookings allow you to provide the most reliable service
to each and every customer.
