Open Protocols for Agentic Booking

People are starting to ask AI assistants to plan trips instead of searching websites. 'Find me a quiet hotel near the conference center that allows dogs', and the agent handles it. This changes how venues need to be discovered.

Not automatically. AI agents can't read your website the way Google does. They need structured data: what rooms you have, what makes you special, whether you're available. These specs define that structure so agents can find and understand you.

You keep it. These specs define how AI agents connect to your property management system to check real-time availability and make bookings. It's a new channel, not a replacement for what you have.

The same way you do: through who vouches for them. Tourism boards, hotel groups, and certification bodies can endorse venues in ways agents can verify. Real recommendations, not just star ratings.

No. The specs work for anything bookable: restaurants, spas, tours, experiences, event spaces. If it has availability and can be reserved, it fits.

This isn't about replacing your existing channels. It's about being ready for a new one. When travelers start booking through AI agents, you want to be discoverable.

Venues don't need to read specs. Your technology provider or property management system will handle the implementation. The documentation is there so they know what to build.

These are open protocols. The specs are on GitHub. Anyone can read them, propose changes, or help improve the documentation. We're building this together.
