Marketplace Situation
• Travel application users and
developers need to utilise multiple
websites, API’s and other content
sources in order to access travel
content, functionality and pricing to
meet traveller needs
• Maintaining multiple API
connections is laborious, time
consuming, difficult and expensive
• Some travel content is not available
through API’s today

Travel Content
Fragmented
& Complex
Evolving to
a new
model with
ancillary
services
Difficult for travel
suppliers to
distribute and for
developers and
travel agencies to
access and
manage
Our research confirms the value that uAPI represents to our
customers trying to simplify their content management
