GDS systems

A Global Distribution System (GDS) is a computerized network that travel agencies, airlines, hotels, and other booking services use to access and share real-time information about travel options, availability, and prices. Think of it as an extensive digital marketplace where providers list their offerings, and agents can quickly search and compare options for customers. This system streamlines the booking process, ensures accurate information, and allows for efficient inventory management across multiple channels. GDSs play a crucial role in the travel industry by connecting various service providers and making travel planning more seamless.
