What is a Global Distribution System?
  • GDS stands for the Global Distribution System. It
    is a huge computer network that passes inventory
    and rates for hotels to travel agents and travel
    sites. It is also used by other travel companies
    such as rental cars and airlines.
  • Travel GDS is made up of global inventory that is
    aggregated by Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre, and
    Worldspan. With our single GDS Software, a travel
    agent can book flights, hotels, attractions,
    sightseeing, transfers, and Car services.
  • BookingXML pre-integrated with the world's
    leading GDS including Amadeus GDS, Sabre GDS,
    Travelport GDS, etc. BookingXML is customized in
    integrating all the major GDS providers and
    integrated with Amadeus GDS, Sabre GDS,
    Travelport / Galileo GDS which enable access for
    reserving airline seats, rental cars, hotel
    rooms, and other travel products.

Benefits of travel GDS
  • The Use of a Global distribution system shows a
    rise across corporate and leisure travelers.
  • GDS is highly effective in alluring international
    travelers. This is the reason why using of GDS
    among travel agents is growing exponentially
    every year.
  • OTAs have greatly improved the travel shopping
    experience and convenience for consumers and have
    increased pricing transparency.
  • GDSs enable the retail travel agency and OTA
    business models.
  • The GDSs enable the travel agents to make their
    travel services available to consumers globally
    where they might not otherwise be able to achieve
    efficient worldwide market penetration through
    direct marketing efforts.

Importance of Travel GDS for Travel agents
  • Initial consumers of the Global Distribution
    System are travel agents and travel companies
    (web and office-based) to place a booking on
    various reservation systems run by the vendors. A
    GDS system provides access to the vendor's
    database in real-time.
  • If figures are taken into consideration, GDS
    networks like Amadeus and Travelport make
    billions of dollars in global travel sales.
    Through these secure networks travel
    agencies/agents can access a real-time inventory
    of hotels, airlines, car rentals, and railways as
    well.
  • Global Distribution System links all those
    services across the three primary travel
    reservation sectors (airlines, hotels and ground
    transportation, etc.). Travel GDS does have a
    time and place!

How does the BookingXML GDS system work?    
  • BookingXML is a global brand trusted by many for
    its services for worldwide GDS content, other
    products, and services in order to provide
    travel-related services to the end consumers. Our
    travel GDS automated reservation system can
    integrate your services, rates, and bookings
    consolidating products and services across all
    travel ecosystems. 
  • GDS software developed by us typically offers the
    whole suite of services for the OTAs, ranging
    from passenger services systems (PSSs) to revenue
    management systems (RMS). The passenger name
    record (PNR) in the airline reservation system is
    maintained in the GDS system. 
  • If a passenger books an itinerary containing air
    segments of multiple airlines through a travel
    agency. The passenger name record in the GDS
    system would hold information on their entire
    itinerary. Each airline that can fly on would
    only have a portion of the itinerary that is
    relevant to the. This would contain flight
    segments on their own services and inbound and
    onward connecting flights of other airlines in
    the itinerary.

The future of Travel GDS
  • GDSs become more of a direct corporate booking
    tool instead of a system used exclusively
    by travel management companies. Technology may
    refine and tailor engines to target specific
    travel interests like corporate or leisure
    travel. 
  • Integration methodologies may change, blurring or
    merging nearly separate functions like booking
    and in-flight processes. Technology may also
    produce new solutions to make data more useful
    and practical for customers (travel agents) and
    expand to cover new industries.
  • Our advanced technology to ensure GDS
    distribution by your OTA is next-generation,
    seamless. So, the travel agents and their
    customers can access accurate and up-to-date
    information instantly at any time.
