PARSIPPANY, N.J. and
SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Dec. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyndham Hotel
Group and Sabre Corporation announced today a global strategic
technology partnership which will provide cloud-based, cutting-edge
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) reservations, revenue management and
enhanced security solutions to Wyndham Hotel Group properties,
making the Hotel Group the first large global company to leverage
Sabre's SynXis Enterprise Platform.
Wyndham Hotel Group, a part of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation
(NYSE: WYN), is the world's largest hotel company with
approximately 7,590 properties franchised under well-known and

As part of this agreement, Wyndham Hotel Group expects to
migrate over 4,500 of its North American properties to Sabre's

The open architecture of the SynXis Enterprise Platform will
allow Wyndham Hotel Group to integrate critical hotel functions
into one intelligent, reliable system. This turnkey system will
offer hotel owners an integrated and automated revenue management
system that will optimize rates, occupancy and revenue per
available room (RevPAR) to grow market share for Wyndham Hotel
Group licensees while enhancing hotel-level security with
cutting-edge credit card capabilities designed to support
tokenization and chip and pin technology.

providers, we are extremely pleased to partner with a leader like
Sabre," said Wyndham Hotel Group President and CEO Geoff Ballotti. "Wyndham Hotel Group's strategy
is to leverage partners who deliver state-of-the-art solutions
across the global travel and service industry landscape for our
owners and franchisees."

Sabre hospitality technology and SaaS solutions to operate and
market their properties around the world. The SynXis Enterprise
Platform integrates distribution, reservations, property
management, retailing and guest experience solutions to help hotels

experiences.

Wyndham Hotel Group, Sabre delivers innovative hospitality
technology solutions combined with deep strategic engagement to
help our customers enhance property performance and guest
experiences," said Tom Klein,
