As you can see HotelRateDetail element has an amount in AUD there is no parameter e.g ApproximateBase which hold the amount in preferred currency, I do not want to covert it manually for presentation, I know there is a parameter PreferredCurrency but it only work in HotelSearchAvailabilityReq and HotelDetailsReq

RatePlanType="KSUN22AZ" Base="AUD876.00" Total="AUD876.00"

Any hint will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi MasoodRehman,

The hotelbooking response currency data depends on the PCC/TargetBranch. Each pcc has a preferred rate established in the host and you need to change that by raising a My.Travelport.com to ticket get back rate in your preferred currency. You can try sending ApproximateBase and ApproximateTotal in the booking request to check if it sends back response in your preferred currency. Thanks.
