Since 2023, hotels using the GDS (Global Distribution System) with D-EDGE have boosted their bookings by more than 14%. That’s a signifi cant increase—but what’s driving this sustained outperformance?

The GDS remains a powerful and reliable distribution channel, especially for reaching corporate and international travelers. Our latest analysis reveals how GDS bookings are evolving, which traveler segments deliver the most value, and when demand reaches its peak. GDS booking patterns such as seasonalities help hotels plan better:

• October → Busiest month for demand, with calendars fi lling up the fastest.
• November → Highest number of bookings, but guests spend less (shorter stays).
• July & August → Fewer bookings overall, but guests spend more per stay (driven by leisure travelers).
• December → Quietest month of the year, with both low booking volume and low spend.

With the right strategy, the GDS delivers measurable results—higher growth, stronger revenue, and greater visibility in the markets that matter most.
