Global Distribution System
Global Distribution System – TripFro
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.
What Are the Benefits of Using GDS?
• Effective in attracting international travelers
• 24/7 access to inventory
• Enables business models such as retail travel agency and OTA (Online Travel Agency)
• Offer consumers increased pricing transparency
• Travel agents can get a global platform with a strong market penetration
• Provide best rates to your customers which no other system can provide
Advantages of TripFro Global Distribution interface for hotels
The GDS integration has many advantages for all hoteliers. The TripFro PMS is fully-integrated with a 2-way GDS interface.
• Room rates and availability can be defined instantly. These updates are shared across the GDS network in real-time.
• All bookings via the GDS platforms are visible on the TripFro Front desk. Eliminates the need for manual updates and checks.
• Travel agents get access to your updated room rate and availability, amenities, photos, and more as defined by you in the system.
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.
