Travelers now have more information and choices than ever before, sometimes the process of finding the best hotel for a customer is very time consuming and they do it with great care. OTAs and online sales websites also need to be able to sell the best hotels at the most reasonable prices in order to move in a competitive market. The hotel web service is an information technology infrastructure that connects hotels to the global distribution network. In other words, the hotel web service provides a wide range of hotel information in the form of SOAP / XML (SOAP) standard and is available to user in real time.
The web services allow the OTA to display hotels data in real time through an interface for their website users, receive relevant data from them for booking, and send booking information to the main supplier, the hotels. In other words, the web service is a communication platform that allows the connection and exchange of data between two software systems, thus enabling the online sale of hotels and other tourism services.

Besides implementing the hotel web services, BasisFly provide the following features:

One of the most important points in implementing hotel web services is that a hotel's data may be available through more than one web service. In this case, the online booking software of BasisFly detects similar hotels by performing the Mapping process and displays the best information from them in one.

A travel agency may have hotel guarantee and wants to offer and sell these hotels online alongside web service hotels. This feature is available on the BasisFly online sales software platform
Provide complete hotel static data
Different web services provide different hotel's static data such as photos, addresses, facilities, etc. The BasisFly Hotel Schema database records and integrates all of the hotel's static data and present complete information when a user clicks on a hotel. For example, if hotel information is available through 3 web services and each has 5 different photos, website user will see 15 photos of the hotel.
