Hi All,

When reading about details in opentravelsystem.org we can see that it uses
the open travel standard, does this mean that if I deploy ofbiz for a
customer who is a travel agency, he can update the reservation data about
airline tickets or rooms of his suppliers regularly using web services.

Can the system replace for instance the Amadeus system that is used widely
by our travel agencies in algeria to book airline tickets and hotel rooms
worlwide for their customers?

Thanks for the reply in advance.

Amine.

Hi Amine,

Opentravelsystem.org is not a replacement of Amadeus. Its not designed for Amadeus operations. Although if you deploy the system and if majority of the airlines and agents started using the same system then one day it might become Amadeus. But it needs to go through a lot of development before it can happen.

The target of opentravelsystem.org is not a replacement of Amadeus or Galileo.

Indeed you can build a sub system in opentravelsystem.org to link with Amadeus or Sabre and provide reservation worldwide.

Regards,
Vikrant Rathore

Hi Vikrant,

Thanks for the explanation. I have a more clear idea. Then, I f I understood
well, at the time being, there are no ready services to bring out
information from other systems using the OTA specifications.

Amine.
