Travel GDS, orGlobal Distribution Systems, is the
reservation tool used by travel agencies and companies for booking
flights, hotels, and othertravel services.

2. What is Travel Global Distribution System?
• A Travel GDS or Global Distribution System (GDS) can connect services, pricing,
and bookings across all three travel sectors, particularly reservations in airlines,
hotels, car rentals, and activities.
• Traditionally, travel agencies relied on GDS for services, products, and rates to
provide travel-related services to end-users. A GDS is capable of connecting
services, fees, and reservations. It incorporates products and services from all
three travel businesses, such as airline and hotel booking and car rentals. For air
ticketing, travel GDS remains the dominant distribution channel.
• The Global Distribution System, or GDS, has evolved into the backbone of the
airline reservation engine and has gained a prominent position in the airline
industry.

3. Global distribution systems are consolidators/aggregators that offer
travel booking and reservation software.
• Independent travel agents, internet agents, and travel agencies are increasingly
relying on more sophisticated Travel GDS systems to get the best available travel
and lodgings and pricing for their clients. Customers will be able to make real-
time flight and hotel reservations through agents, and their research and
bookings will be complete in minutes.
• Travel GDS connects online booking software systems, B2B B2C portals, and
metasearch engines in real-time. It is an aggregation and distribution platform. A
travel agent can book flights, hotels, attractions, sightseeing, transfers, and car
rental services using travel GDS software.
