Travelopro is global technology dealing in various travel solutions. Our GDS is one of the key services that it offers to its clients. In order to understand the GDS a bit better, we would like to give you a bit of insight into how it came into existence. In the early days of aviation, the airlines did not fly regularly, because of a few passenger’s ticket fares were regulated by the Civil Aeronautics Board. All information about schedules, fares, flight, etc. was made reachable in the Official Airline Guide and travel agents requested reservations by phone or telex. As the number of passengers began to grow, this manual approach could not cope and hence created a need for the up-gradation of the ticketing system. The very first automated booking system was set up by American Airlines in 1946 and was called Electromechanical Reservoir. American Airlines introduced a bit complex reservation system in 1953 by launching SABRE (Semi-Automatic Business Research Environment). Then came into existence DATA, PARS, before CRS introduced and for the first-time travel agents, were allowed to make the reservations themselves. When introduced GDS instead of CRS, it was able to handle details from one to multiple airlines. Before the system had a limitation where it could handle the flight details from one airline only hence in 1980. Even if the travel agents have the option to acquire information and fare lists from the GDS, still passengers need an agent to confirm the bookings. The passengers haven’t any option to access directly. Thus, it created a new need where the airlines should provide direct access to book tickets by the passengers; hence Internet Booking Engines (IBEs) were introduced. I.e. the Global Distribution System serves as a central system that allows transactions between various travel services provides travel agents, rental services, airlines, hotels, etc. It helps to sell and buy various travel services online through some channels. Travel agencies can easily contact any GDS now to acquire its services and sign a legal bond on payments and get to access to various services that it can offer to end users keeping their commission set on each booking.
