It's called the GDS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_distribution_system

It started with airlines, but eventually included everything from hotels to rental cars.

The space is more or less dominated by a few big players. Sabre. Amadeus. Travelport.

GDS is the backbone of all of these booking platforms as far as I'm aware.
