Booking Engine Query Examples

This section exhibits and explains various types of queries.

GEO Searches

GEO search establishes a position (point of reference (POR or POI) on the earth by the longitude & latitude. Since each hotel (and other data such as
landmark, airport, etc.) has a longitude and latitude we can associate hotels to the POR and convey their distance.

Note: City Center Lon/Lats are in the Database along with pre-built url's.
