GDS Description

In the current difficult economic climate, it is more imperative than ever that businesses maximise their opportunity to increase sales and profitability. The hotel and hospitality industry is no different and why more and more hotels of all sizes and descriptions are seeking connection to the Global Distribution System (GDS). By so doing it provides the means for properties to be advertised Globally online and therefore receive substantially greater levels of reservations from the many hundreds of thousand travel sites around the world that can now view the advertised hotel including its’ amenities, location and rates. Most importantly of course, its’ availability is there for prospective clients to view online and to book securely there and then!

The GDS consists of 4 main travel portals which are Sabre, Galileo, Amadeus and Apollo. These 4 massive databases house your hotel details and provide the visibility that matters. Some 600,000 Travel Agents across the world use the GDS so if you are not registered with the travel portal databases then your property cannot be seen.
Most of the world’s main travel sites will access and read the information stored in the GDS before automatically sharing that information through their own website distribution. Imagine the exposure your hotel now has? You are now visible on more than a thousand of the top travel industry sites around the world and to more than 600,000 Travel Agencies!
Some 95% of online reservations are made using the GDS!

Being represented on the GDS is a concept that has until now been largely exclusive to the major hotel chains around the world. With Zalion representing your property we can guarantee the same level of marketing exposure irrespective of the size of the hotel or whether the property concerned is independently owned and run or part of a major chain.

Ultimately, our aim is to increase your flow of credit card confirmed reservations and there are many ways in which our knowledge and expertise can achieve that. For example, we can provide you with our award winning fully integrated Booking Engine which will enable you to fully control your room inventory from just the one website!

We are committed to helping you achieve success so please read on to realise the difference Zalion can make by offering a professional and efficient GDS representation of your hotel.
