What is GDS?

A global distribution system (GDS) is a computerized network system that is owned or run by a business and facilitates transactions between service providers in the travel sector, primarily airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, and tour operators. The GDS mostly employs real-time inventory from the service providers (such as the quantity of available hotel rooms, seats on available flights, or automobiles). In the past, travel agents relied on GDS for services, goods, and prices in order to offer final customers travel-related services. By linking services, pricing, and bookings, a GDS may consolidate goods and services from all three types of travel: bookings for hotels, flights, and rental cars.
