Since we want to use the results of the remote OData service that provides a list of travel agencies in our managed travel app that we created in week 2 and 3 we will create a custom entity.
In contrast to "normal" CDS views that read data from the database from tables or other CDS views the so called custom entities act as a wrapper for a code based implementation that provides the data instead of a database table or a CDS view.
