Conference with several seated people who discuss - AlpineBits Alliance

Introducing AlpineBits Standards

AlpineBits standards are interface specifications for the exchange of tourism data that are available for free and published under CC-BY-SA.

AlpineBits standards are built on a modular structure, providing independent features that can be used based according to your implementation needs.

The AlpineBits Alliance membership allows contribution in the defining of the AlpineBits standards.

To date, two standards have been developed by the AlpineBits Alliance:

AlpineBits HotelData Standard

A standard for the exchange of travel and booking information based on XML messages validated against OTA 2015A.

In the current version of the standard, the scope of AlpineBits covers the exchange of the following types of information:

  • reservation inquiries (GuestRequests)
  • room category information (Inventory)
  • room availability (FreeRooms)
  • prices (RatePlans)
  • hotel internal activities (ActivityData)

 

AlpineBits DestinationData Standard

A standard to enable the exchange of events and mountain resort related information, an OntoUML ontology has been built to describe the conceptualisation and scope of the standard.

In the current version of the standard, the scope of AlpineBits covers the exchange of the following types of information:

  • events, events series and venues
  • mountain areas
  • trails and lifts
  • snow measurements
