A New System and a Changed Industry
Today many OSSN members now have their own TRUE Code issued by the
TRUE Coding System. TRUE (Travel Retailer Universal Enumeration) System's sole
purpose is to help provide sellers of travel with the assignment of travel industry
numeric codes that are recognized by the travel supplier community, including
cruise lines, tour operators, hoteliers, and car rental companies.
Suppliers can now validate the validity of any TRUE Code issued TRUE
by visiting this validation Website: www.checkatruecode.com.
The recognition of this universal numeric code by travel suppliers will
allow the travel agent or agency the privilege of booking travel products and
services directly with thousands of travel industry suppliers. This numeric identification
code eliminates the need to establish multiple pseudo ID numbers with individual
suppliers.
