roomsXML Solutions Limited wins prestigious WTM World Travel Leaders Award

roomsXML Solutions Limited has won a prestigious World Travel Market 2015 World Travel Leaders Award in recognition of its simplicity and excellent user feedback.

The company received the coveted award today (Tuesday 3 November) at the WTM World Travel Leaders Award ceremony. The award was presented by publisher of Trav Talk India, Mr SanJeet and was collected by roomsXML director, Prakash Bang.

The Awards give WTM London’s Official Media Partners – which represent key travel industry media around the world – an excellent platform to congratulate and recognise those companies and individuals that have made significant and ground-breaking contributions to travel and tourism in their region or sector.

Three nominations from each of WTM London’s media partners were judged in September by a panel of three, consisting of an independent body, a representative of WTM and the relevant media partner.

roomsXML is an accommodation distributions system, which began development in 2003, that helps travel agents find and book hotel rooms with ease. roomsXML introduced nine product innovations that were the first in the industry. These include:

  • De-duplication of inventory: In a multiple-supplier system, the same hotel appears more than once. This happens because each supplier has a different nomenclature of naming the hotel. roomsXML’s algorithms and manual supervision has resolved this issue
  • Room type mapping: This feature is an industry game-changer. Our system shows the room name exactly as the hotels name them.

– Made to order XML feed: While we can provide a XML feed to travel portals incorporating the entire roomsXML inventory, we can also offer destination or product specific inventory. For example, a travel portal may need XML feed for only South East Asia or only Apartments or only Luxury Properties.

After soft-launching in 2007, roomsXML continued to develop based on ongoing market needs and feedback. Every feature that was added made it easier for the user to check and book hotels in real time and at net rates.

The judges at the WTM World Travel Leaders Award acknowledged the impressive reviews roomsXML had received and said: “User friendly and with excellent feedback from users, roomsXML does something simple with excellence.”
