JEDDAH, 27 March 2004 — Marriott GSO (General Sales Office) in Jeddah has started Global Distribution Systems (GDS) training in collaboration with Galileo, the reservations system used by most of the travel agents and travel management companies in the Kingdom. At the same time, Marriott GSO has been engaged in doing similar training seminars for agents who use other systems like Amadeus, Sabre and Worldspan. The program was begun in the Eastern Province, then moved to the Central Province, and Jeddah. Satellite cities like Yanbu are also covered. More than 400 have been trained so far, using the facilities of Arabi Galileo Unit, part of Saudi Arabian Airlines, in Jeddah as elsewhere in the Kingdom.
