Travel 101 - On Distribution
1 like322 views
The document discusses the history and development of the global distribution system (GDS) for airline travel reservations. It describes how in the past, making a single reservation across multiple airlines required 20 separate communications, which led to the creation of the first computerized reservation system called SABRE. SABRE and competing systems like Apollo automated reservations and helped airlines and travel agents distribute inventory and book flights more efficiently. This helped establish the oligopoly of major GDS providers that still exist today.
