The global B2B travel market is projected to grow from $36.94 billion in 2024 to $78.30 billion by 2030. For online travel agencies (OTAs) looking to compete in this expanding marketplace, Travelport API integration has become essential for accessing real-time flight bookings, hotel reservations, and car rental services through a single unified platform.<\/span><\/p>

This comprehensive guide walks you through the complete process of integrating Travelport’s Global Distribution System into your travel platform\u2014from initial registration to production deployment.<\/span><\/p>

What Is Travelport GDS API?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>

Travelport is a leading travel technology company that provides Global Distribution System (GDS) services to travel agencies, airlines, hotels, and travel providers worldwide. Operating across 70+ countries, Travelport connects over 400 airlines, 650,000 hotel properties, and 37,000 car rental locations with travel businesses globally.<\/span><\/p>

Travelport operates through three major GDS platforms:<\/span><\/h2>

1. Galileo<\/b> is one of the largest and most widely used GDS systems globally, offering extensive airline and hotel content.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

2. Apollo<\/b> primarily serves the North American market with comprehensive travel inventory access.<\/span><\/span><\/p>
