Global Distribution System

• A Global Distribution System, or GDS, is a
  computerized network that expedites transactions
  between travel service providers and travel
  agents (both online travel agents like Expedia
  and human travel agents).
• A Global Distribution System (GDS) links
  reservation inventory under one web-based
  network. The most accepted uses for GDSs are in
  the tourism industry, mainly for airlines,
  hospitality companies, and car rental companies.
  In this way, service providers, such as travel
  agencies and online travel agencies can all sell
  tickets for the same flight, hotel, or car rental.

How does the GDS work in travel?

• Global distribution systems are an emissary
  between vendors, such as hotels and airlines, and
  service providers, such as online travel
  agencies. While most big GDSs are linked to the
  major travel agencies, smaller, less overpriced
  GDSs may offer a limited amount of travel
  agencies.
• The tangled web of databases has become even more
  of a morass following the outbreak of online
  travel agencies (OTAs) like Booking.com, Expedia
  and Wotif. Hotels and other travel individual can
  use technology solutions to capitalize on this
  trend, tapping into all GDSs, consist of the
  likes of Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre, and Worldspan
