The problems that can arise from content databases that are not accurately cleaned or mapped can not only result in poor customer and supplier relations, but more importantly, they can result in confusion, missed business opportunities, and significant losses in time and money - all of which are disruptions that a travel agency cannot afford in today's environment.
We know how important is to have an up-to-date content from the suppliers you work with, so our mapping team is performing regular updates and improvements in order to have a fresh content database.
Let’s have a look at the latest updates from our mapping team.
The data for our mapping process was delivered by a number of 33 travel suppliers. From a total number of 381,360 cities received from suppliers, our team has processed the mapping which resulted in a total number of 69,171 unique cities. This new update covers content from new mapped suppliers such as HotelsPro Coral, Lots of Hotels and Rezlive covering 28,453 mapped cities.
When performing the cities mapping, we take into account each country's specific territorial segmentation, such as provinces, regions, states, this being a manual ongoing process.
This is achieved through a consistent and rigorous manual work and high attention to details. For example, when doing the cities mapping we take serious precautions and give special attention to province/ state/ region and when doing the cities mapping we take into account the name, address and star rating.
The problems you might face with bad mapping:
- Duplicate or erroneous data coming from the suppliers
- Limited accuracy in searches and big chances to miss the latest additions provided by your suppliers, like better pricing and better inventory
- Increased engine response time
- Book wrongly allocated hotels
- Inaccurate amenities
- Unhappy customers.
How do we solve the problems:
- Continuously updating the content and eliminating duplicates
- Offering access to reliable and accurate search results
- Get access to better prices and all the inventory
- Increased performance of the selling platform

We have a dedicated team of travel professionals specialized in the mapping process. Using experienced proven techniques, the mapping team continuously improves the content and brings valuable updates to the database that includes worldwide content.
