Point of Interest Procedure


Request

1. When requesting the addition of a Point of Interest, please go to http://hoteleservices.sabre.com.

2. Click on the "TOOLS" tab at the top of http://hoteleservices.sabre.com home page. Under the heading "Geo codes and Mapping", click on "Point of Interest Submission Tool".

3. User ID = your two letter chain code.

4. Enter the correct Password (contact your Account Manger if not known).

5. Please note an address is required to determine the longitude, latitude and Confidence Level (CF) therefore incomplete forms cannot be processed.

6. Please allow one week for processing.


Please take into consideration the following regarding item 5.

There is a possibility that a Point of Interest does not have a specific street address. For example: The city of Euless, Texas (a small city) is the Point of Interest (POI), the address may only contain Euless as the city with Texas as the State with zip code.

Such cases and inaccurate addresses will result in a high Confidence Level (CF) and will not be geocoded.

The Point of Interest will still be added to our internal tables but without latitude and longitude. Only locations with a Confidence Level (CF) of 1, 2 and 3 will be added to the internal tables with geocodes.
