PHP+MySQL+XML Travel Booking Site

I require an automated travel booking engine using the WorldSpan Global Distribution System ([login to view URL]). WorldSpan provide almost up-to-the-minute flight/car hire/hotel/cruise information from hundreds of tour operators worldwide and are used by sites such as [login to view URL] for travel data. The winning coder must be a highly skilled PHP/MySQL developer with extensive XML experience as WorldSpan uses XML solely. The system must have the functionality of [login to view URL] with regard to flight/hotel/car hire/cruise searching and booking. It must also have an extensive user login system whereby members can login and view both current/past bookings. There will be a payment module needed, most likely this will be via Worldpay or ProTX ([login to view URL]). This will need to be integrated seamlessly so the user never leaves the main site during the payment process. Email integration is a must as confirmation and reminders will need to be sent out via email to customers using the website. An extensive administration area will be required for full content management of the site as well as a built-in trouble ticketing system for user queries and billing information.
