A GDS is essential for TMCs, especially when combined with additional smart add-ons to further improve its capabilities.

Independent travel agents, online travel agencies, and tour operators are gradually using more sophisticated GDS systems to provide their clients with the best travel deals, accommodations, and airfares. Agents will make real-time airline and hotel reservations for consumers, and their research and bookings will complete within minutes.

With a GDS, travel agents may get fast updates and availability. As a result, the agency facilitates visitor bookings and generates more bookings through the GDS than directly on a property's website. A GDS is necessary because information such as room availability and daily rates are shown prominently in the travel agency. When this information is updated in real-time, it helps agencies get more reservations. As a result, your accommodation will receive more bookings, and the revenue will increase!
