SOUTHLAKE, Texas, April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre
Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR), a leading software and
technology provider powering the global travel
industry, today announced a new multi-year agreement with
National Travel, a global travel agency ranked among the Top 25
Travel Management Companies in the United
States by Business Travel News. The new agreement
gives National Travel, which books a considerable amount of
government travel, access to the robust travel content in the Sabre
travel marketplace, helping to drive efficiencies and support its
revenue growth goals. National Travel's migration to Sabre is
underway with an anticipated successful launch of the program later
this quarter.
"When we consider our partners, we have high standards and Sabre
exceeds those standards," said Ted
Lawson, President/CEO, National Travel. "We are bringing all
of Sabre's content, innovation and customization tools to our
customers and in return, they will have easier access,
opportunities to increase revenue and ultimately be more
efficient."
National Travel will benefit from a range of Sabre solutions to
help them enhance the traveler experience, including:
- Efficient access to real-time NDC offers that are easy to shop,
compare, book, and service alongside traditional ATPCO/EDIFACT
options and low-cost carrier content. Sabre is the first and
currently only global distribution system (GDS) to power NDC
content for Atriis, GetThere, SAP Concur, and Wooba, each of which
is a leading online booking tool.
- Content Services for Lodging, which helps increase hotel
attachment rates by unlocking access to 2M+ global property options
and enhanced retailing capabilities to find the right property and
rate more easily for travelers.
- Automated Exchanges, which enables agencies to automatically
search and reprice up to 80% of ticket exchanges. Not only does
this boost productivity by up to 20%, but it saves up to 20 minutes
per transaction.
"We are grateful for the trust National Travel has placed in
Sabre," said Andy Finkelstein, Senior Vice President Global
Agency Sales, Sabre Travel Solutions. "Our teams work seamlessly to
integrate complex systems that ultimately translate into easier
access for customers and greater content and capabilities that
enable them to serve global travel needs with more ease and
confidence."
Sabre is the largest GDS provider for US civilian and military
government travel system segments and won the 2017, 2018 and 2019
NDTA Corporate Distinguished Service Award by the National Defense
Transportation Association. Sabre's marketplace includes travel
content from more than 400 airlines, 2M+ lodging options, and
hundreds of tour operators, rail, car rental, and cruise providers,
to sell customized travel packages from suppliers around the world.
National Travel has access to a full spectrum of bookable content,
can rely on intuitive workflows, and tap into Sabre's unique
workspace customization.
"Sabre's presence in North
America continues to expand, grow, and we continue to win
new business from travel management companies and agencies across
the globe because of differentiation, customization and excellence
in customer service," said Todd
Arthur, Managing Director - North America Agency, Americas
