Who knows what gds is?

GDS is a "global distribution system" and a large-scale computer information service system applied to civil air transport and the whole tourism industry.

Through GDS, tourism sales organizations all over the world can get a lot of tourism-related information from airlines, hotels, car rental companies and travel companies in time, thus providing customers with fast, convenient and reliable services.

From the development process of GDS, GDS is a travel service-oriented system separated from the air reservation system due to the rapid development of tourism. Nowadays, GDS has developed into an industry serving the whole tourism industry. In addition to the original air transport industry, hotels, car rental, travel companies and railway companies have also joined GDS.

Examples of GDS:

GDS Global Distribution System (GDS Global Distribution System)

GDS is the first booking system used by the global international tourism industry, and it is also the main booking system for the global tourism industry. Therefore, the share of GDS hotel reservations in the global tourism industry is 50%. Joining GDS is equivalent to directly signing booking cooperation agreements with 500,000 travel agencies around the world.

However, those leaders, decision makers and international hotel chain management groups who really care about the long-term development of hotels are more willing to join GDS system to improve their booking efficiency, and hotels that join this system will gain a wider and closer customer base. Visitors can also find information about all hotels through the GDS Alliance website, and guests can also book directly from hotels.
