World Travel's commitment to superior customer
service bolstered with Sabre's robust NDC infrastructure
within a multi-source content platform
SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Oct. 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre
Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR), a leading software and
technology provider powering the global travel
industry, today announced a new multi-year distribution
agreement with World Travel, Inc., one of the top 10 largest Travel
Management Companies (TMC) in the
United States.
The new agreement will allow thousands of World Travel agents to
access the robust travel content available via Sabre's travel
marketplace including NDC offers that are easy to shop, compare,
book, and service alongside traditional EDIFACT content. The Sabre
GDS aggregates, normalizes and distributes content from more than
400 airlines including both full-service and low-cost carriers, 2M+
lodging options, and hundreds of tour operators, rail, and car
rental providers.
"We are committed to excellence in customer service and so is
Sabre," said Liz Mandarino, CEO,
World Travel, Inc. "Sabre is skillfully taking us into the next
phase of our technological evolution, helping us navigate the
ever-changing and complex technology environment in order to better
serve our customers and gain further expansion opportunities
worldwide."
World Travel will also benefit from a range of Sabre solutions
to help them enhance the traveler experience, including leveraging
the intelligent platform Sabre Red 360, which offers a customizable
user experience that enables product differentiation, selling
branded content, add-ons, dynamic upsell options and personalized
offers. Content Services for Lodging (CSL) will help provide World
Travel agents with the widest range of lodging options and search
criteria to find the perfect property and rate.
"We are proud to partner with World Travel and provide them with
our robust distribution network and technology infrastructure built
for the future," said Roshan Mendis,
Chief Commercial Officer for Sabre Travel Solutions. "Part of this
infrastructure is NDC and a key enabler of that is our multi-source
content platform. Through this platform, we can integrate any
multi-source content including Sabre's core GDS content, non-core
Sabre-native content (NDC and LCC) and long-tail LCC content that
has not traditionally been in the GDS. These offerings
provide the quality content and personalization that helps World
Travel and its customers."
"Our travel agency has deep knowledge of the travel industry and
our commitment to our customers represents the business values we
hold dear," said Pam Zager,
Executive Vice President, Operations, World Travel, Inc. "Sabre's
team was exceptional in their seamless transition of service,
demonstrating a level of customer care that perfectly complemented
World Travel Inc.'s dedication to excellence."
