What is the Global Distribution System (GDS)?
The Global Distribution System can be loosely defined as the thousands of booking websites available on the Internet for use by travel agents and guests to make reservations. RDP has created the RDPConnect program to maximize revenue from the Global Distribution System, Internet Marketing, and Direct Travel Websites. As individual, independent properties, RDP customers do not have buying power available to franchise hotels. However, as an alliance, RDP customers represent over 200,000 rooms per night, a number that brings enormous synergy and leverage. Read more about RDPConnect and the Global Distribution System.
