# Operation: Property List

**Operation Overview**:

* This operation allows DirectConnect to request the OTA to return a list of hotels available on the OTA systems for a given chain account or log-in.

**Customary Setup**:

* OTAs typically set up multiple properties of a hotel chain for a given login. In such cases, the OTA returns a list of all hotels set up for that login.
* If the OTA allows only one hotel per login, that hotel’s details are returned.

**Messages Involved**:

1. **HotelPropertyListGetRQ**:
   * Sent by DirectConnect to the OTA service to request a list of properties.
2. **HotelPropertyListGetRS**:
   * Sent by the OTA service in response, providing the requested list of properties.
