Expand your market segmentation

Global Distribution Systems (GDS) have been around for more than half a century and are still the most widely used electronic distribution channel for corporate bookings. With over 79 million bookings in 2019 and an audience of 650,000 travel agencies, the GDS channel offers a limitless showcase on the world of the international travel industry, 24/7.
