Distribution systems are essential for matching supply and demand in tourism services.

With regard to B2B, DMSs provide tourism enterprises with the means to be better integrated into tourism supply chains by promoting personalized and enriched tourism experiences directly to a large number of consumers.

With the advent of new technologies and the globalization of markets, supply of tourism products began to focus on targeting different segments of the market within the framework of e tourism and circumventing intermediation.

Government policies can encourage tourism distribution channels to give preference to sustainable tourism products by providing training to destination management organizations and tourism boards, developing industry driven standards and supply chain management approaches, educating the public on certification schemes and promoting travel fairs that focus on sustainable products.

They keep consumers dependent on the products they supply at the expense of imposing onerous commercial conditions on independent suppliers in different tourism destinations.

For the last couple of years, ICT and notably the Internet have profoundly affected the structure of the tourism industry and generated changes on both the supply and demand sides.

The huge supply capacity of dominant players in all segments of tourism, including transporters, GDS, tour operators, travel agencies and hotels, allows them to prepare holiday packages and retail them through their own business networks, as well as to impose prices and conditions on suppliers in tourism destinations.

Management of supply capacities and tourism resources relies on information networks and distribution channels, where global distribution systems (GDS) are the backbone of tourism business structure, transactions and operations, and the platform for integrating operators and customers at every point in the value chain, offering access to all destinations in the world.

An important role in engaging tourism businesses is being played by tourism industry associations.

There was general consensus that e tourism policies and strategies will play an increasing role in integrating tourism enterprises, particularly SMEs, into global tourism markets.

At its February 2005 meeting, the Interagency Coordination Group on Tourism Statistics considered proposals to update the Tourism Satellite Account Recommended Methodological Framework,2 and the 1993 United Nations World Tourism Organization recommendations on tourism statistics.
