SOUTHLAKE, Texas, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- OYO Hotels
& Homes (www.oyorooms.com) has connected its first group of UK
hotels to Sabre's SynXis Central Reservations System, following a
global partnership signed between OYO and Sabre Corporation, a
leading software and technology provider powering the global travel
industry. More than 80 OYO hotels in the UK, representing more than
2,500 rooms, are now connected to all major GDSs through Sabre's
advanced hospitality solutions.
As well as direct channels, SynXis Central Reservations
optimizes global distribution channels and enables greater scale
and operational efficiency by delivering rates and inventory to all
major GDS systems and online travel agencies (OTAs) through direct
connections and switch partners. The addition of OYO hotels to
Sabre's SynXis Platform means they are now available to book
through Sabre's own GDS as well as others, corporates, travel
management companies, and almost 900,000 travel agents and tour
operators globally, significantly increasing the distribution
channels and revenue opportunities for the selected
properties.
This first collection of OYO independently-owned UK hotels to be
made available on Sabre range in size from 10 to 110 rooms and
cover a wide range of areas and price points. Listed properties
were chosen based on their appeal for individuals and groups
travelling for leisure or business purposes. Locations cover
major city hubs including London,
Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow and Liverpool; coastal resorts including
Brighton, Newquay, the Isle of
Wight and Bournemouth;
popular destination cities such as Cambridge and Bath; and more rural locations including Loch
Ness and the Cairngorms in Scotland.
The intention is to make further UK OYO properties available to
book via Sabre's SynXis Platform, as the portfolio continues to
grow and as more hotels reopen following lockdown
restrictions.
"We are delighted that a wide range of OYO's UK hotels are now
bookable via Sabre's SynXis CRS, making it easier for international
and domestic corporates, travel agents and travel management
companies, among others, to book our affordable accommodation
around the UK," commented Rishabh
Gupta, head of OYO Europe. "Many of our
properties have immediate availability for key workers and business
travelers, as permitted under current lockdown measures; and we
also look forward to securing more group and leisure bookings
through the trade as hospitality begins to reopen in the coming
months."
"OYO's new partnership with Sabre will drive a new distribution
strategy in the UK, which will support OYO's asset partners and
wider business goals," said Frank
Trampert, Sabre Hospitality Solutions SVP and Global
Managing Director, Commercial. "Our innovative
hospitality technology solutions and enhanced connectivity will
open up increased revenue opportunities for OYO hotel owners,
allowing them to significantly broaden their reach, while giving
travel agents access to a more diverse range of hotel products and
ancillaries. We look forward to working closely with OYO as
it benefits from the SynXis Platform's distribution and
retailing solutions. As it increases its hotel inventory,
this will help deliver new opportunities, grow geographic reach and
increase bookings over the coming years as we see the recovery of
UK and international travel."
GDS users can locate OYO's properties in the UK and other
international destinations through the dedicated chain code
'OY'.
