Definicion detallada en ingles. Los terminos tecnicos hoteleros (PMS, OTA, RevPAR, ADR) suelen usarse en su forma inglesa por operadores hispanohablantes.

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.
