Sabre has signed agreements with Bedsonline, TravelBound and the Expedia
Affiliate Network (EAN) to make their content available in the new
Sabre Content Services for Lodging.
Bedsonline
brings a portfolio of more than 170,000 properties in 120
countries, while TravelBound reaches customers in 190 countries
and offers unique experiences from more than 50,000 hotels. EAN
will provide access to more than 350,000 properties worldwide and
offer more than 650,000 exclusive deals on accommodations.
“Having aggregator content integrated with traditional
GDS hotel content makes travel agents and corporate booking tool
providers more efficient, effective and confident in the increased
depth and breadth of lodging offerings they are able to bring to
their travellers,” said Traci Mercer, senior vice president of
lodging, ground, and sea for Sabre Travel Network. “These
agreements are key to helping us better serve customers in all
regions around the globe.”
Launching later this
year, the first market release of Sabre Content Services for
Lodging will deliver over 900,000 property options from both the
Sabre GDS and non-GDS sources such as aggregators, redistributors
and agency-sourced hotel content.
The new lodging solution will display the
new content at the room and rate level, side-by-side, for more
efficient comparison.
“We’re dedicated to driving
business for travel agencies by offering them the widest range of
the best hotels under exclusive terms and conditions, and
partnering with Sabre furthers that commitment,” said Amanda
Spencer Hill, regional manager, North America at Bedsonline. “By
simplifying the customer experience, travel agents are able to
better accommodate travellers and increase overall bookings,
bettering their short- and long-term business goals.”
The new lodging solution will include the capabilities
of Sabre APIs and will be incorporated into Sabre Red Workspace,
GetThere and TripCase.
