Important: You must provide your full inventory (full list of hotels) and remove all test properties for us to consider your implementation complete.
Tripadvisor expects you to continue to provide your entire inventory and return availability for all your properties.
Once a day Tripadvisor imports your list of hotels from your hotel_inventory response. We then match these to Tripadvisor listings. The import could fail if you response does not conform to the below specification, it could also fail is you omit the url or have listings with duplicate URLs.
