What is GDS System?

• GDS is a computerized network system that offers
  real-time information to companies like airlines,
  hotels, car rental providers, and travel agents.
  These innovative solutions and travel software
  have helped travel corporations to grow fast on a
  global scale.
• Global distribution systems are widely
  responsible for the growth of the travel industry
  and the stepping-stone of most internet-based
  travel services. GDS is quite efficient in
  attracting international travelers. As a result,
  the use of GDS among travel agents is increasing
  enormously

The importance of a GDS System in the Travel
Industry.

• A GDS is essential for TMCs, especially when
  combined with additional smart add-ons to further
  improve its capabilities.
• Independent travel agents, online travel
  agencies, and tour operators are gradually using
  more sophisticated GDS systems to provide their
  clients with the best travel deals,
  accommodations, and airfares. Agents will make
  real-time airline and hotel reservations for
  consumers, and their research and bookings will
  complete within minutes.
• With a GDS, travel agents may get fast updates
  and availability. As a result, the agency
  facilitates visitor bookings and generates more
  bookings through the GDS than directly on a
  property's website. A GDS is necessary because
  information such as room availability and daily
  rates are shown prominently in the travel agency.
  When this information is updated in real-time, it
  helps agencies get more reservations. As a
  result, your accommodation will receive more
  bookings, and the revenue will increase!

  travelers who stay at your property.
• The GDSs allow travel agencies to make their
  travel services available to consumers all over
  the globe, where they would not otherwise be able
  to achieve effective global market penetration
  through direct marketing efforts. The primary
  function of a GDS is to assist travel agents who
  are looking for hotels that satisfy specified
  criteria.

  systems to stay up to date on information
  concerning travel plans, such as hotel room
  availability. Customers may now make reservations
  on the fly.

  because they can provide their customers with
  real-time rates, inventory, discounts, rooms, and
  descriptions. In other words, global distribution
  systems act as intermediaries between travel
  product suppliers and travel retailers who sell
  tickets to the end-user.
