Inside Shopper …how it works! • Agent requests hotels for a given area Galileo interrogates the database for properties that match search criteria such as distance, transportation, property features/amenities and chain code A list of hotel properties is compiled and request is sent to the Inside Shopper participant with the requested properties Inside Shopper

Inside Shopper …how it works! • If negotiated rates are requested, we check only that the chain offers the rate…NOT the property • Multilevel (negotiated rate) Point of Sale Rules will continue to be validated by Galileo, without concern for availability. Negotiated Rates do not have to be loaded for every property in the Room. Master Database…only in your CRS! This means less status messages, less phone calls, less database maintenance, less cost and MORE sales! Inside Shopper

Exclusive Galileo Features • Frequent Guest Identification – Frequent Guest number has always been allowed in the sell request, but if the hotel guest qualifies for special rate, included amenities, or availability for a hotel showing closed, the hotel needs to know this information at the time an availability is requested. • Corporate or Promotional ID – ID is used to identify a special promotion, distressed inventory, a quick sale, a package, or anything that is not loaded in the Room.
