Sabre has signed an agreement with Booking.com
so that
agency customers will have access to all Booking.com listings,
including its alternative lodging listings, through Sabre
Content Services for Lodging.
Sabre Content Services for Lodging integrates
multi-source, multi-representation of GDS, aggregator, and
agency-sourced hotel content into the Sabre GDS. TMCs and
corporations will be able to more efficiently shop, sell and
service millions of hotel options as active GDS bookings.
“We’re constantly working to expand our lodging offerings
and bring even more options to our agency customers,” said Traci
Mercer, senior vice president of lodging, ground and sea for Sabre
Travel Network. “Our collaboration with Booking.com allows us to
offer a comprehensive set of interesting and unique properties to
our systems. Adding the Booking.com portfolio to Sabre’s lodging
offering will allow travel buyers to meet the growing demand for
alternative lodging options and deliver even more value to their
travelers.”
Booking.com offers more than 28 million
listings including more than more than 5.4 million reported
listings in homes, apartments and other unique places to stay, and
facilitates bookings for more than 1.5 million room nights every
24 hours to over 135,000 destinations around the world.
“As our mission at Booking.com is to empower people to
experience the world, this new partnership with Sabre will enable
even more travelers to quickly and easily find their ideal place
to stay,” said Ripsy Bandourian, senior director of partnerships
and business bookers at Booking.com. “Working with Sabre enables
us to expand our reach to their global network of high-value
travel buyers, instantly connecting all of their customers with
the unparalleled depth and diversity of our accommodation
offering, including everything from great business hotels to
convenient city apartments and boutique B&B options in every
corner of the globe.”
Officially launching later in
2018, the new lodging solution will be available via Sabre APIs as
well as the Sabre Red Workspace, GetThere and TripCase.
