Although OpenTravel allows unlimited occurrences of each element within the OTA\_HotelDescriptiveContentNotifRQ message, ENTERPRISE CONNECTIVITY has elected to set limits for many of these elements. Unless specified under the Usage column below, ENTERPRISE CONNECTIVITY only allows one instance of each element per property message.
| **Element** | **Level** | **Attribute** |
Only 1 element allowed per Property message. It is recommended that the
