How To Choose A GDS And Types Of Travel APIs

What is GDS ?

Global Distribution System (GDS) is the brain of the travel industry. It is a computerized network system which allows real-time information to companies such as airlines, hotels, car rental and travel agencies. Each of these sectors uses GDS to view real-time inventory of services provided in the travel industry. For example, using GDS, a travel agency can discover the availability of hotel rooms, flight seats or cars on behalf of their clients and book through the same GDS.

How to Choose a GDS ?

The global distribution system that you choose to invest in should be capable enough to let you customize the services that you plan on offering to your respective clients. This is extremely important because every client is different and the needs and requirements of every other are also different. You can’t offer the same service with the same features to all of your clients. That is why is it extremely important that you invest in such a global distribution system that helps you to customize the services for each customer. This will also help you, as a travel agent, to save a lot of time as all of the information will be provided on a single platform and you would not have to go back and forth to gather all the information to design a suitable package for your client.
