SINGAPORE and OSAKA, Japan, Nov. 8,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ:
SABR), a leading software and technology company that powers the
global travel industry, today announced a new strategic partnership
with Osaka-headquartered Hotel
Keihan Chain to enable the hospitality chain to grow its geographic
reach as it focuses on creating increased tourism opportunities
within Japan.
With this agreement, Hotel Keihan will be linked to hundreds of
thousands of travel agents globally through the Global Distribution
System (GDS) connectivity solutions powered by Sabre Hospitality
Solutions' innovative SynXis platform, enabling the group to
increase bookings domestically, regionally and globally as industry
recovery gains momentum.
Hotel Keihan operates 8 hotels with approximately 1,660 rooms in
areas along the Keihan Railway, which is used by corporate
commuters and tourists visiting Osaka and Kyoto. The group has properties in other key
areas such as Tokyo (3 hotels),
Nagoya, Sendai, and Sapporo. They also have a property that is the
official partner hotel of Universal Studio Japan in Osaka. One of the unique selling points of its
hotels is that most of them are within a five minute walk from the
nearest railway station.
Under the new deal, Hotel Keihan will be connected to all major
GDSs, including Sabre, and will gain access to extensive business
opportunities from all over the world. In addition to linking the
chain's portfolio to numerous distribution channels, the agreement
also includes the ability for Hotel Keihan to connect with major
corporations and begin RFP contracting. The brand will have access
to Sabre's Consortia Services to reach potential guests through a
network of consortia travel agencies and preferred TMC agreements,
helping the hotel connect to corporate business, increasing both
ADR and occupancy.
GDS users can now locate Hotel Keihan's properties through the
dedicated chain code 'YX'.
