Abstract: A method and a system for aggregating travel solutions from a plurality of travel sources are described which first includes setting up: markets, each made of a pair of geographic criteria with an optional directional indicator; sources of travel solutions per market; baskets of compatible travel sources including provider types and travel product characteristics; and basket rules for grouping baskets per market and product characteristics. Then, upon receiving a travel request including an itinerary and preferences, the basket rule best fitting the travel request is selected; the appropriate baskets for the selected basket rule are identified. After which, for each basket, the sources of travel solutions are determined and travel requests forwarded to each determined source. Responses are aggregated and displayed in a common format; thereby, allowing a transparent comparison of the travel solutions from the plurality of travel providers.
