About GTREX
GTREX is a Global Distribution System (GDS) enabling direct access to reservation systems of major travel suppliers -- airlines, cruise lines, hotels, car rental companies and providers of other travel amenities. Unlike other GDS's, GTREX searches for the availability and price for the itinerary suggested by the buyer over all direct connected suppliers and GDS's and presents the results in an easy to understand format. Existing GDS services do not present information from suppliers that are not part of their system. Besides improved brand and revenue management, suppliers save distribution costs while providing efficient service to major customers through a direct connection.
