What is a Global Distribution System?

 

Global Distribution System / GDS System is computerized web services collocated at a server, that provide travel deals worldwide including flight booking, hotel room booking, transfers booking, cruise, and holiday packages. In a nutshell, a unified web-based reservation system that can search, book, and process travel deals, is known as a Global Distribution System (GDS System).

How a GDS Works For Travel Agents ?

 

 

Travel agents (again, both human and online) are the primary target for today’s GDS networks. A GDS delivers data in real-time, so agents can determine which particular flights, accommodation, or other services best suit their client’s needs in seconds. 

And because GDSs have expanded to other travel services, the entire combination (i.e., flight, car, hotel) can be purchased on one platform, eliminating the hassle of booking each component individually. GDSs also alert agents to limited-time sales, special rates, and promotional packages that further incentivize their use.
