I heard that GDS is only effective for big inner city hotels, is that true?

GDS distribution is certainly vital for hotels offering a corporate product, however, we have many regional clients that benefit from being listed too. We have clients operating small motels hundreds of kilometers from the nearest main city that benefit from being listed.
