The first commission-free hotel distribution system

DANA POINT, Calif. - Aug. 7, 2016 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, California – noGDS today announced that it opened up its platform for professional travel sellers to hotels worldwide. Unlike global distribution systems and online travel agencies the noGDS platform does not apply distribution fees and is rapidly becoming a favorite listing place for hotel sales professionals.

"We believe that airline and hotel distribution should be free.", says noGDS CEO Christian Kameir. The noGDS platform connects hotel and airlines directly with travel agencies using Internet communication protocols agreed upon by most airlines and hotels.

Agencies in the past were limited to one of three distribution systems. These systems utilize decade old technology which limit the agencies' capability to connect directly to vendors. A back-office solution distributed for free by noGDS enables any agency to store and manage traveler data in a format compatible with modern Internet protocols.

Travel agencies can chose to connect the back-office to their legacy distribution partner while also enabling direct connection to airlines and hotel sales. Since most group and event bookings are still conducted the old-fashioned way – with a phone call to the hotel – the noGDS platform is often the first place agents turn to for non-transient sales.
