Abstract

A system and method of providing travel service listings is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the method includes receiving a request for a particular travel related service and searching a database for at least one travel provider that provides the particular travel related service requested. The method further includes generating a travel service listing via a search of the database wherein the database associating at least one particular travel provider of the requested travel related service and identifying an assigned protocol of the at least one particular travel provider. In addition, the assigned protocol contemporaneously indicating an ability of the at least one particular travel provider to satisfy a plurality of predetermined standards.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving a request for a particular travel related service;

searching a database for at least one travel provider that provides the particular travel related service requested; and

generating a travel service listing via a search of the database wherein the database associating at least one particular travel provider of the requested travel related service and identifying an assigned protocol of the at least one particular travel provider;

wherein the assigned protocol contemporaneously indicating an ability of the at least one particular travel provider to satisfy a plurality of predetermined standards.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying the assigned protocol for each particular travel provider in the travel service listing.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein a standard of the predetermined standards is recycling materials.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein a standard of the predetermined standards is water-conservation.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein a standard of the predetermined standards is energy-conservation appliances.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein a standard of the predetermined standards is organic food.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising maintaining the database to contemporaneously update the assigned protocol of each particular travel provider.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining an aggregate value of two or more predetermined standards.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the assigned protocol comprises a symbol.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein a value of a first standard is greater than a value of a second standard of the plurality of predetermined standards.

11. A processor readable medium having processor instructions that are executable to cause a processor to:

receive a request for a particular travel related service;

search a database for at least one travel provider that provides the particular travel related service requested;

generate a travel service listing via a search of the database wherein the database associating at least one particular travel provider of the requested travel related service and identifying an assigned protocol of the at least one particular travel provider; and

wherein the assigned protocol contemporaneously indicating an ability of the at least one particular travel provider to satisfy a plurality of predetermined standards.

12. The processor readable medium of claim 11, wherein the processor executable instructions are further executable to display the assigned protocol for each particular travel provider in the travel service listing.

13. The processor readable medium of claim 11, wherein a standard of the predetermined standards is recycling materials.

14. The processor readable medium of claim 11, wherein a standard of the predetermined standards is water-conservation.

15. The processor readable medium of claim 11, wherein a standard of the predetermined standards is energy-conservation appliances.

16. The processor readable medium of claim 11, wherein a standard of the predetermined standards is organic food.

17. The processor readable medium of claim 11, wherein the processor executable instructions are further executable to maintain the database to contemporaneously update the assigned protocol of each particular travel provider.

18. The processor readable medium of claim 11, wherein the processor executable instructions are further executable to determine an aggregate value of two or more predetermined standards.

19. The processor readable medium of claim 11, wherein the assigned protocol comprises a symbol.

20. The processor readable medium of claim 11, wherein a value of a first standard is greater than a value of a second standard of the plurality of predetermined standards.
