Economic development through entrepreneurship has been seen by business organizations as a way out of poverty and unemployment.

How do you think GDS companies will adjust to such market changes. Do you think GDSs are going to be major challenge for electronic distributors of travel business in China? In the case of China , we are talking about special market conditions due to regulations limiting foreign GDS activities.
