Why aren all rates loaded and available to sell in the GDS, compared with hotel direct or the 888 number?
Some rates, such as packages with one rate for a multiple-night stay, are not compatible with existing rate loading functionality. The current functionality supports per-night pricing. There are other factors such as extra night and extra person charges that might be priced at a percentage of the full package rate. The GDS does not accommodate or calculate percentages for pricing. The good news is that seamless connectivity does allow a broader range of rates and features to be delivered to you.
