1. Direct Connect Shop

2. DC Shop - Overview Sabre’s “Highest Level of Connectivity” Direct Connect Shop displays rates that are applicable at time of the initial Availability request, providing information as immediate and accurate as a call to a hotel reservation number. Direct Connect Shop’s up-to-the minute rates and availability status offers a higher level of confidence as rooms are booked…reducing customer service issues.

3. DC Shop - Overview Direct Connect Shop Request Message works like this: – Sabre’s database is checked to qualify hotels based on geographic location and amenities. – A list of qualified property numbers is built. – An availability request message is sent to each Associate’s Central Reservation System that: Participates in DC Shop And has properties that qualify – Up to 10 property ID’s are included in each request message. Configurable by chain – Minimum 5 - Maximum 10 – Request message is chain specific. 1 chain per message – Sabre will apply viewership controls as it does today.

4. DC Shop - Overview Direct Connect Shop Response Message works like this: – Response message will contain ‘available’ rate range or specific rate for all open properties or a “CLOSED” / ‘CLOSED’ Alternate Property Available indicator. No *PROPERTY ON RQST* allowed. – Responses must comply with Sabre’s existing rules for rate change over stay. The highest nightly rate for stay must be returned or a rate range that reflects the highest rate the traveler will pay during the stay. – Response time not to exceed 10 seconds.

5. DC Shop - Overview The response appears on the Hotel Availability screen along with a ‘new’ connectivity indicator, the Cross of Lorraine (‡). The indicator appears prior to the two-letter chain code and on both sides of the rate range. To view only DC Shop participants, the ‡ qualifier can be included, the same way qualifiers are used today. Example: HOTDFW/8JUL-2NT1/‡

6. DC Shop - Overview When a specific rate is displayed using DC Shop, the rate can be booked directly from the HOT, reducing the number of entries necessary to make a booking. Defined Viewership will continue to be managed by Sabre: – Providing the same security as today – As long as the Rate Code is attached to the Rate Level the rates do not have to be loaded in the Sabre Database to utilize Defined Viewership
