Universal Commerce Protocol lodging draft omits travel agency identifiers
The Universal Commerce Protocol's lodging capability draft was merged on September 11, 2026, and does not include fields for a travel agency name, IATA number, or agent identifier.
The draft was written by a 16‑seat technical council with 12 permanent members, including Google and online agencies, and defines four actors – the platform, the business, the credential provider and the payment service provider – while allowing multiple rooms in one booking but excluding group bookings and commission payments; bookings are treated as immutable once finalized.
