How GDS System Works?
Understanding how a Global Distribution System (GDS) operates can be a game-changer for your PMS and thereby the connected hotel’s visibility and bookings. Here’s a simplified breakdown:
What is GDS?
- GDS stands for Global Distribution System, a platform used by travel agents to book hotels, flights, car rentals, and more.
- Major GDS platforms include Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo, and Worldspan.
How Does GDS Connect Hotels?
- For a hotel to be visible on GDS platforms, it must be “GDS hosted.”
- Hosting is provided by SynXis CRS, which connects the hotel’s Property Management System (PMS) to the GDS network.
- This connection allows travel agents to access your hotel’s real-time rates, availability, restrictions and room types.
GDS as a Marketplace
- GDS is like a giant marketplace where travel agents can see and book rooms from various hotels.
- It doesn’t hold its own inventory but serves as a window into your hotel’s system, reflecting your latest availability and prices.
Booking Process
- When a travel agent makes a reservation through the GDS, the booking information is sent to your Channel Manager via SynXis CRS.
- The inventory for that booking is automatically updated, just like it is for other online travel agencies (OTAs).
Why is This Important?
By connecting a hotel’s PMS to this GDS, you tap into the world’s largest travel marketplace, increasing the connected property’s chances of being booked by travel agents worldwide.
