Detaillierte Definition auf Englisch. Hospitality-Fachbegriffe (PMS, OTA, RevPAR, ADR) werden auch im deutschsprachigen Hotelbetrieb meist in der englischen Form verwendet.

A GDS (Global Distribution System) is a legacy reservation network that connects hotels to travel agents and corporate travel programs. The four main GDS networks are Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport (Galileo, Worldspan, Apollo), and Pegasus. GDS bookings are a small share of the mix for most independents but matter disproportionately when corporate-travel volume is meaningful.
