3. How do global distribution systems (GDS) work? • Functioning as the brain of the travel industry, GDS is a network system that delivers real-time information to organizations in the travel industry. Hotels, airlines, travel agencies, and car rental services use GDS to view the inventory before making bookings for customers. • So, how does the Global Distribution System work? • Basically, GDS is the mediator between the airline/hotel and the agent making reservations for a customer. The agent can check the costs of hotels or flights in real-time. • While the GDS doesn't hold the inventory, it works as a medium to permit customers to check the inventory of businesses offering their services. For example, if the travel agent is attempting to reserve a hotel room, they can see the room types, amenities, rates, availability, and any restrictions. • If the travel agent is satisfied, the details are confirmed in the hotel’s system, and the selected room is removed from its inventory. So, the next time someone looks for a booking in the same hotel, this room (for those dates) will not appear.
