GDS System

• A global distribution system (GDS) is a network
  operated by a company that facilitates automated
  transactions between third parties and booking
  agents in order to give travel-related services
  to the end consumers. A Global Distribution
  System or GDS can link services, rates and
  bookings, consolidating products and services
  across all three travel sectors i.e., airline
  reservations, hotel reservations, car rentals,
  and activities.
• GDS is different from a computer reservations
  system, which is a reservation system used by the
  respective vendors. Primary clients of GDS are
  travel representatives (both online and
  office-based) to make reservations on several
  reservations systems run by the vendors.

What is a global distribution system (GDS)?

• A global distribution system, or GDS, is a
  computer network used by travel companies and
  other distributors to book airline tickets, hotel
  rooms, rental cars, and other travel-related
  services. A travel agent can gain information,
  such as real-time rates and room accessibility,
  through GDS.
• Then, when a travel agent makes a booking, the
  GDS system will send this information to the
  hotels booking system to provide that it is
  accurately updated. The GDS was generated to
  remove the need for manual input at either end of
  the booking process which used to be
  time-consuming and often, inaccurate.

How does a global distribution system work?

• Global distribution systems are an intermediary
  between vendors, such as hotels and airlines, and
  service providers, such as online travel
  companies. While most big GDSs are associated
  with the major travel agencies, smaller,
  less-cost GDSs may give a limited number of
  travel companies.
• Vendors sign up and link their own listing to a
  global distribution system. Once associated,
  clients can use the different portals associated
  with GDS to purchase from a vendor. To avoid
  overbooking, each service provider receives
  real-time updated listings from the airline or
  hospitality company (vendor).
• Not only do vendors show their inventory, but
  they can immediately update products and rates.
  BookingXML allows vendors to use a dynamic price
  method that immediately changes over all of their
  portals.
