Go Global Travel Integration for Your Booking Platform
A go global travel integration connects Go Global Travel hotel, transfer, and car rental content directly into your PHPTRAVELS booking platform, giving B2B and B2C agencies live availability, real-time pricing, and automated booking from a single, brandable storefront you fully control.
Rather than logging into a separate supplier portal, your team and your sub-agents search, price, and confirm bookings inside the same platform that already runs your flights, hotels, tours, and cars with your markup rules, your branding, and your reporting applied automatically.
Built on the platform behind 4,800+ agencies and 5M+ bookings, with 32+ supplier and GDS integrations including Amadeus, Travelport, Sabre, Duffel, and Hotelbeds.
What a Go Global Travel Integration Does
Go Global Travel is a global hotel and ground-services content aggregator that exposes its inventory through an XML API. A compatible integration maps that inventory into the hotel, transfer, and car modules of your PHPTRAVELS platform, so the supplier becomes one more switchable source of stock behind your own search results not a separate system your staff has to operate by hand.
travel_explore
Live content in your own search
Hotel, apartment, transfer, and car results from the connected supplier appear inside your platform’s search alongside your other suppliers, de-duplicated and ranked by your business rules — not in a third-party window.
account_balance
Your pricing, not raw net rates
Net rates returned by the supplier pass through your configured markup, markdown, tax, and currency logic before they ever reach an agent or traveler, applied per agency, per market, or per channel.
confirmation_number
End-to-end booking lifecycle
Availability check, price confirmation, booking, voucher issuance, amendment, and cancellation are handled inside the platform and written back to your orders, ledgers, and reports automatically.
The Operational Workflow
The value of a supplier integration is in what happens between a search and a confirmed, reconciled booking. A compatible Go Global Travel connected workflow inside PHPTRAVELS runs like this:
01
Search and availability
An agent searches by city, hotel name, dates, rooms, and occupancy. The platform queries the connected supplier in parallel with your other sources and returns combined live availability.
02
Price and detail rendering
Day-by-day price breakdowns, board basis, cancellation penalties, and property details are normalized into your platform’s layout so every supplier looks consistent to the user.
03
Rule and markup application
Net rates are converted into sell rates using your markup, agency tier, currency, and tax rules before display.
04
Pre-book validation
Before payment, the platform re-confirms live price and availability against the supplier to catch rate changes and avoid failed bookings.
05
Booking and voucher
On confirmation the order is created, a voucher is issued, and supplier references are stored against the booking record.
06
Amendments, cancellation & reconciliation
Changes and cancellations are pushed to the supplier with penalties and refunds applied, then supplier references, net cost, sell price, and margin are written to reports for finance.
Implementation Considerations
vpn_key
Credentials and endpoints
You connect using credentials issued to you directly by the supplier under your own commercial agreement. The platform stores these securely and uses the supplier’s test environment for validation before any live traffic is enabled.
schema
Content mapping
Property codes, room types, board basis, geography, and cancellation policies are mapped to your platform’s schema so results from this supplier merge cleanly with content from your other connected sources.
database
Caching strategy
Static content such as descriptions and geography is cached, while availability and pricing are fetched live. This balances response speed against rate accuracy and reduces unnecessary load on the supplier API.
tune
Rules and distribution
Markup, markdown, blackout, and visibility rules decide which agencies and channels see this supplier’s content and at what price, so a single integration can serve B2B sub-agents and B2C customers differently.
Risk Controls, Security, Scale & Servicing
shield
Risk controls
Timeout limits, retry logic, and rate-limit handling keep a slow or unavailable supplier from degrading your whole search. If the supplier does not respond, results fall back to your other connected sources so the search still returns. Pre-book re-validation prevents confirming a rate that has already changed.
lock
Security and compliance
Supplier credentials and traveler data are handled within your own platform’s security model. Card data flows through your chosen payment gateway to keep PCI scope contained, and traveler personal data is processed in line with your data-protection obligations, including consent and retention controls where applicable.
speed
Scalability and performance
Parallel supplier queries, cached static content, and asynchronous booking confirmation let the platform handle high search volumes without serializing on a single API. Adding this supplier does not slow the others, because sources are queried concurrently.
support_agent
Support and servicing
Connection health, error rates, and failed-booking logs are monitored so issues are caught before agents report them. When the supplier changes an endpoint or schema, the mapping layer is updated without rebuilding your storefront.
Integrated Through PHPTRAVELS vs. Building It Yourself
Most agencies can obtain Go Global Travel credentials. The difference is in what it takes to turn an XML feed into a reliable, branded, revenue-ready booking experience.
| Capability | Integrated through PHPTRAVELS | Building in-house from raw XML |
|---|---|---|
| Time to live | Configuration and mapping on an existing platform | Full development cycle before first booking |
| Multi-supplier search | Merged automatically with your other sources | You build de-duplication and ranking yourself |
| Markup and rules engine | Built in, per agency, market, and channel | Custom pricing logic to design and maintain |
| Booking lifecycle | Voucher, amendment, cancellation, reconciliation handled | Each step engineered and tested separately |
| Failover and monitoring | Shared with your platform’s other integrations | You own uptime, retries, and alerting |
| Schema-change maintenance | Handled in the mapping layer | Ongoing engineering each time the API changes |
