Not on the executive shortlist
It was not selected for the 28-company executive shortlist.
Why it matters
Scoring rationale
Huge ecosystem and active partner APIs, but the public material mixes affiliate, supplier-connectivity and partner APIs. Valuable strategically, yet Shahraah's exact buyer/reseller route is less clear than TBO/Riya/Expedia Rapid.
Opportunity for Shahraah (provisional)
Investigate buyer/agent distribution through ANT first; do not confuse property-supply connectivity documentation with reseller inventory API.
Risks and blockers
Main blocker
Which buyer API product Shahraah can contract for, commercial model, Pakistan eligibility, booking ownership, support and whether the public hotel Partner API is available to a new OTA/travel agency.
Capability and supply
What they offer
Global travel group with accommodation, flights, tours and ancillary distribution. Trip.com travel-agent ANT portal publicly available.
API, from public information
ANT partner portal identified; published hotel partner API exists, but buyer-side bookable inventory API rights not established.
Products and services researched

Open questions
Can a Pakistani agency sign up for ANT? Buyer booking API or portal only? Product scope, commission/net rates, deposit/settlement, sandbox, DTS timing?
