Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR), and Expedia Affiliate Network (EAN),
have signed a strategic technology agreement in which Expedia
Affiliate Network will provide hotel marketing and booking
content.
The agreement adds tens of thousands of incremental hotel

shopping and booking solution in the Sabre travel marketplace that
will integrate fragmented hotel content into an easy-to-use
interface, making comparison shopping easier for travel buyers.

Sabre Red App Centre, EAN will have access to an extensive network
of travel buyers who will leverage a wealth of data including,
advanced map-based search capabilities to search any destination in
the world by street address, neighborhood, airport code and local
attractions. In addition, travel buyers can instantly sort search
results by chain code, price, amenity and many other criteria to
