Global Distribution Systems

⁣Global Distribution System – TripFro

A Global Distribution System, or GDS, is a
computerized network that expedites transactions between travel
service providers and travel agents (both online travel agents like
Expedia and human travel agents).

A Global Distribution
System (GDS) links reservation inventory under one web-based network. The most
accepted uses for GDSs are in the tourism industry, mainly for airlines,
hospitality companies, and car rental companies. In this way,
service providers, such as travel agencies and online travel agencies can all
sell tickets for the same flight, hotel, or car rental.

How does the GDS work
in travel?

Global distribution
systems are an emissary between vendors, such as hotels and airlines, and
service providers, such as online travel agencies. While most big GDSs
are linked to the major travel agencies, smaller, less overpriced GDSs may
offer a limited amount of travel agencies.

The tangled web of
databases has become even more of a morass following the outbreak of online
travel agencies (OTAs) like Booking.com, Expedia and Wotif. Hotels and other
travel individual can use technology solutions to capitalize on this trend,
tapping into all GDSs, consist of the likes of Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre, and
Worldspan by Travelport.
