What is a global distribution system and how does
it work?

• A global distribution system (GDS) links
  reservation inventory beneath one computer-based
  network. The most common uses for GDSs are in the
  tourism industry, Generally 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. Global distribution systems are a
  mediator among vendors, such as hotels and
  airlines, and service providers, such as online
  travel agencies. 
• While most leading GDSs are linked to the major
  travel agencies, smaller, less expensive GDSs may
  offer a limited number of travel agencies.
  Vendors sign up and link their own inventory to a
  global distribution system. Once linked,
  customers can use the different portals
  approximated with the GDS to purchase from a
  vendor. 
• To avoid overbooking, each service provider
  receives real-time updated inventory from the
  airline or hospitality company (dealer). Not only
  do dealers show their inventory, but they can
  automatically update products and rates. This
  allows deals to use a dynamic pricing method that
  shortly changes over all of their portals.
