How A GDS Works
E-commerce Before The Term Was Coined
What Is A GDS Anyway?
Let’s start with the basics. A Global Distribution System (GDS) is like the ultimate travel matchmaker — connecting travel suppliers (airlines, hotels, car rentals) with travel sellers (agencies, OTAs, TMCs). It’s the tech backbone that powers the travel industry. Travelport is a GDS — but it is not just any GDS. Travelport is a modern, AI-powered platform built for today’s travel industry.

How Does GDS Work?
Search: A travel agent enters a query — say, flights from New York to London.
Book: The GDS finds the best options, confirms availability, books, and tickets it.
