How Does Hotel Mapping Work?

Hotel mapping is the process of identifying and matching disparate hotel listings from various sources to a single, unified entity. This process is essential because different suppliers might list the same hotel under various names or provide slightly different details, leading to potential confusion and inaccuracies.

The Data Collection and Normalization Process

The initial step involves gathering comprehensive data from multiple hotel suppliers, including names, addresses, star ratings, amenities, photos, and other relevant information. This data is then normalized, converting disparate data into a standard format to ensure consistency across all entries.

Advanced Mapping Algorithms

At the core of hotel mapping are sophisticated algorithms that analyze the normalized data to identify and merge duplicate entries. These algorithms use advanced techniques, including artificial intelligence, to compare key identifiers such as names, addresses, and geo-coordinates, ensuring each hotel is uniquely represented.
