Originally airline reservations systems were just for airline inventory and known as CRS or Computer Reservation Systems. Today these systems have been expanded to be booking systems for a range of industry product including hotel accommodation, car rental vehicles and other tourism products including airline ticketing and they are known as Global Distribution Systems or GDS. A GDS is also required to handle check-in procedures at airports and these are known as Departure Control Systems.
