HTNG is the hotel technology standards body; its specifications are XML-based and largely reuse OpenTravel message structures. If your product already speaks HTNG, much of the work carries over to OPERA.
Use cases
- Distribution — push availability and rates (ARI) to channels and receive bookings.
- Central reservations — sync reservations between a group CRS and property OPERA.
- Self-service — some kiosk and mobile check-in products are built on HTNG.
Checklist
- Confirm the HTNG version and the exact message list both sides support.
- Map room types, rate codes and channel codes.
- Define the master for rates and how overbooking is handled.
- Test modifications, cancellations and bulk rate-calendar pushes.
