GDS content updates

Suppliers who subscribe to ENTERPRISE CONNECTIVITY’ ContentHub service use HCD as a single point of entry for distributing hotel descriptive content to both ADS (online) and GDS channels. No extra processing is needed by the supplier. However, the rules associated to the specific GDS fields must be followed in order to have a successful update to the GDSs.

Warnings will be returned when elements or attributes required for GDS updating are not provided. The updates will still be applied to HCD, but the data will not be published to the GDSs until the missing fields are provided.

For those suppliers who do not subscribe to ContentHub, the specific GDS business rules can be ignored. Any GDS- specific information will be ignored if supplied for a property that does not subscribe to GDS content updating via HCD.
