Loading The Account into GDS
Loading The Account into your GDS or Global Distribution System
Some Companies require that their preferred travel agency is loaded into your GDS.
Some Franchises will have the agencies loaded for you. Others may not.
If it is not mentioned on the RFP, then find out their Rate Code and Pseudo City Codes. This will save some time and get the account loaded faster.
Some popular Booking Agents include:
- 1. Amadeus
- 2. Apollo
- 3. Galileo
- 4. Sabre
- 5. Worldspan
- 6. Pegasus
- 7. Abacus
PROPER CODING
Proper coding is extremely important so you can track their room night production.
Are you getting your fair share? If you know that they do not have a mandated travel policy in place, then they are most likely using a competitor.
Make sure that you call upon their travel agency to make sure that your hotel is properly loaded into the system and that they can view your property.
