A Global Distribution System (GDS) is a centralized platform that connects travel agencies (corporate travel and leisure travel), online booking platforms, airlines, hotels, car rental companies, and other service providers, enabling efficient distribution and reservation of travel products and services.
A global distribution system serves as the backbone of the travel industry, providing real-time access to availability, pricing, and booking capabilities across multiple travel suppliers. By integrating vast inventories from airlines, hotels, rail operators, and car rental companies into one platform, a GDS streamlines the booking process, supports competitive pricing, and ensures accurate, up-to-date information for both leisure and business travel markets.
