Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR),
a leading software and technology provider powering the global travel industry, today
announced a new multi-year distribution agreement with World Travel, Inc., one
of the top 10 largest Travel Management Companies (TMC) in the United
States.
The
new agreement will allow thousands of World Travel agents to access the robust
travel content available via Sabre's travel marketplace including NDC offers that are easy to shop, compare, book, and
service alongside traditional EDIFACT content. The Sabre GDS aggregates,
normalizes and distributes content from more than 400 airlines including both
full-service and low-cost carriers, 2M+ lodging options, and hundreds of tour
operators, rail, and car rental providers.
"We
are committed to excellence in customer service and so is Sabre,"
said Liz Mandarino, CEO, World Travel, Inc. "Sabre is skillfully
taking us into the next phase of our technological evolution, helping us
navigate the ever-changing and complex technology environment in order to
better serve our customers and gain further expansion opportunities
worldwide."
World
Travel will also benefit from a range of Sabre solutions to help them enhance
the traveler experience, including leveraging the intelligent platform Sabre
Red 360, which offers a customizable user experience that enables product
differentiation, selling branded content, add-ons, dynamic upsell options and
personalized offers. Content Services for Lodging (CSL) will help provide
World Travel agents with the widest range of lodging options and search
criteria to find the perfect property and rate.
"We
are proud to partner with World Travel and provide them with our robust
distribution network and technology infrastructure built for the future,"
said Roshan Mendis, Chief Commercial Officer for Sabre Travel Solutions.
"Part of this infrastructure is NDC and a key enabler of that is our
multi-source content platform. Through this platform, we can integrate any
multi-source content including Sabre's core GDS content, non-core Sabre-native
content (NDC and LCC) and long-tail LCC content that has not traditionally been
in the GDS. These offerings provide the quality content and
personalization that helps World Travel and its customers."
"Our
travel agency has deep knowledge of the travel industry and our commitment to
our customers represents the business values we hold dear," said Pam
Zager, Executive Vice President, Operations, World Travel, Inc. "Sabre's
team was exceptional in their seamless transition of service, demonstrating a
level of customer care that perfectly complemented World Travel Inc.'s
dedication to excellence."
