Having access to a Global Distribution System (GDS) is a game-changer for travel agencies. Whether you run a small agency or a large travel business in Bangladesh, getting a GDS ID from providers like Travelport, Sabre, and Amadeus can unlock access to thousands of airlines, hotels, car rentals, and other travel services globally.

In this comprehensive guide by Buy Air Ticket Ltd, we’ll walk you through what a GDS is, how it benefits your travel agency, and how you can obtain a GDS PCC ID in Bangladesh through leading providers like Travelport, Sabre, and Amadeus.

What is a GDS?

A Global Distribution System (GDS) is a computerized network system that enables travel agents, online travel agencies (OTAs), and travel management companies (TMCs) to book travel products in real time. These products include flights, hotel rooms, car rentals, cruises, rail tickets, and more.

In simple terms, a GDS acts as a bridge between travel service providers (like airlines) and travel sellers (like agencies and OTAs).

Popular GDS Platforms Globally:

  • Amadeus (Europe-based)
  • Sabre (US-based)
  • Travelport (UK-based, includes Galileo, Worldspan, Apollo)
