Travel & Tourism Technology — Master Hub
Build travel/tourism systems end-to-end: supplier integration (GDS, NDC, bed banks), the reliable booking
saga, channel managers, supplier extranets, hotel/room mapping, and B2B/B2C booking platforms.
How to use this hub
This single skill bundles all 7 travel-tech skills. Each bundled skill's full instructions live in
skills/<name>/GUIDE.md.
Workflow:
- Always start with
travel-tech-architecture — the canonical model (Money/Offer/RatePlan/
CancellationPolicy/Booking), the search→recheck→book→pay→confirm flow, glossary, and the 2026 standards map.
- Match the request to one or more skills below and read its
GUIDE.md before acting.
- Combine skills — real builds span several (supplier integration + mapping + booking saga + B2B/B2C).
The non-negotiables (every travel build)
- Normalize everything into one canonical model; supplier shapes die at the adapter boundary.
- Cache search, never cache the booking price — recheck before you charge.
- Booking is a saga, not a transaction — idempotent, compensable; never charge without a confirmed supplier ref.
- Money = integer minor units + ISO-4217; store net + markup + sell + FX; reconcile.
Bundled skills
- travel-tech-architecture ⭐ — The foundation: ecosystem (GDS/NDC/bed banks/CRS/PMS/IBE/CM/extranet),
canonical domain model, the universal booking flow, multi-currency/FX, PCI/PII scope, look-to-book, and the
glossary (ARI, PNR/Order, VCC, BSP, OTA/NDC).

skills/travel-tech-architecture/GUIDE.md
- supplier-api-integration — Integrate GDS (Amadeus/Sabre/Travelport), NDC 21.3, and bed banks
(Hotelbeds/TBO/EAN/WebBeds/GRN) via the adapter pattern: real Hotelbeds adapter, resilient fan-out, recheck,
rate-limit/look-to-book governance, token pooling, sandboxes.
→
skills/supplier-api-integration/GUIDE.md
- booking-orchestration — The booking saga done right: state machine, idempotency (exactly-once book),
compensation, recheck gate, payment↔supplier money ordering, "never retry book — reconcile via retrieve,"
PNR/voucher/on-request/hold lifecycles, mid-office queue, reconciliation.
→
skills/booking-orchestration/GUIDE.md
- mapping-system — Dedupe the same hotel/room across suppliers into one canonical entity: GIATA
Multicodes/Room-Mapping, blocking + weighted scoring (geo/name/address), auto/review/reject thresholds,
review queue, provenance, false-merge defense. (Book the supplier's original code.)
→
skills/mapping-system/GUIDE.md
- b2b-b2c-booking-platform — The demand side (OTA/IBE, agent portal, tour operator/DMC): declarative
pricing/markup engine, atomic agent credit/wallet, multi-currency, payments (3DS2/SCA in; VCC/BSP out),
itineraries/vouchers, mid/back office, B2B API-out.
→
skills/b2b-b2c-booking-platform/GUIDE.md
- channel-manager-system — Distribute a property's ARI to OTAs (Booking.com/Expedia/Agoda) and pull
reservations back: per-channel adapters, OpenTravel connectivity, pooled inventory with atomic decrement,
derived rates/restrictions, durable change queue, delta+full reconcile, overbooking protection.
→
skills/channel-manager-system/GUIDE.md
- extranet-system — Supplier-facing portal to load inventory/rates/availability/content/promotions/
contracts: contract→season→rateplan→calendar→allotment model, bulk calendar editor, allotment/release
periods, hard validation gate, roles/approval, audit, publish into the CRS.
