- GDS means “Global Distribution System” – any network used by travel agencies to reserve flights, book hotel rooms, rent cars, etc.
- Through GDSs, travel agents get availability and rates, and make reservations.
- GDSs usually do not allow individual properties to be listed, so independent hotels need distributors.
