Please call the following GDS companies and find out the following information for our online travel agency: Amadeus, Abacus, Galileo, Sabre, Worldspan 1) What is the cost to access inventory (Fixed and variable)? Different cost for different products (flights, hotels, rental cars, etc.)? 2) What technology is used for the feed (api, xml, or other)? 3) Can we get access to inventory for trial? Website with ID+password? 4) How quickly can we get the feed to hook up to our system? 5) For flights, do we need to do our own ticketing, or can you do that? 6) What languages are supported (Traditional Chinese?) They may ask if we have an IATA number. We have begun the process and will have one shortly. Our company is registered/incorporated in Hong Kong.
