Travel Data Integration Guide

01The integration model

The goal is a layer that sits alongside the systems you already run, not a replacement for them. Source systems stay the system of record; the reasoning layer subscribes to their signals and calls back into them to act.

This keeps the blast radius small and lets you adopt surface by surface.

02Map the source systems

Typical inputs: the reservation/PSS layer, loyalty, CRM, content and merchandising, and real-time operational state. Each has its own identifiers, freshness, and access model.

You do not need to standardize everything first — the layer resolves across formats — but you do need reliable, permissioned access.

03Ingest signals

Decide which events matter for the surface (searches, dwell, tier, itinerary, disruption) and how fresh they must be: streaming for real-time decisions, batch for slower context.

Capture enough to reconstruct a decision later — provenance matters for trust and debugging.

04Resolve identity

The hardest part of travel data is knowing that the loyalty member, the web visitor, and the booking record are the same traveler. Establish the resolution keys early; everything downstream depends on it.

05Expose actions (write-back)

If the surface acts, expose enterprise capabilities — search, hold, book, modify, redeem — as safe, idempotent, authorized actions, every call logged. This tool layer is what turns recommendations into completed commerce and service.

Treat latency, freshness, and governance as first-class requirements, not afterthoughts.
