## Sabre Corporation Partners with World Travel to Enhance Travel Services with Cutting-Edge Technology
In a move that signifies a commitment to innovation and customer service, Sabre Corporation, a leading provider of software and technology solutions for the travel industry, has announced a strategic partnership with World Travel, Inc., one of the top 10 largest Travel Management Companies (TMC) in the United States. This collaboration aims to revolutionize World Travel’s service offerings by leveraging Sabre’s robust Global Distribution System (GDS) and cutting-edge travel technology.
Empowering World Travel Agents with Advanced Technology
This new agreement opens a world of possibilities for thousands of World Travel agents. They gain access to Sabre’s comprehensive travel marketplace, a centralized hub that aggregates content from over 400 airlines (including both full-service and low-cost carriers), more than 2 million lodging options, and hundreds of tour operators, rail services, and car rental providers. This means that World Travel agents can now offer travelers a wider range of choices and a more personalized travel experience.
Furthermore, Sabre’s platform enables World Travel to integrate New Distribution Capability (NDC) content alongside traditional EDIFACT travel options. This seamless integration ensures agents can provide travelers with a smooth and efficient booking experience, regardless of the content source.
The partnership also unlocks the power of Sabre’s next-generation solutions, including Sabre Red 360, a sophisticated interface designed to simplify the complexities of modern travel. Sabre Red 360 empowers agents to differentiate products, sell branded fares, and offer dynamic upsell opportunities, ultimately leading to a more personalized and fulfilling travel experience for customers. In addition, Sabre’s Content Services for Lodging (CSL) will provide World Travel agents with the ability to search for lodging options using customizable search criteria, guaranteeing that they can find the perfect accommodations for their clients at the best possible rates.
Strengthening Customer Service and Expanding Global Reach
“We are committed to excellence in customer service, and Sabre shares our vision,” said Liz Mandarino, CEO of World Travel, Inc. “With Sabre’s innovative technology, we are equipped to navigate the complex and ever-evolving travel landscape. This partnership allows us to better serve our customers by providing more options and a more personalized experience, while also positioning us for further global expansion.”
World Travel will also benefit from Sabre’s powerful multi-source content platform, which seamlessly integrates core GDS content with Sabre-native content and long-tail LCC content. This ensures that agents can provide tailored travel experiences that perfectly match the specific needs of their customers, driving higher satisfaction and enabling the company to remain competitive in an increasingly digital travel market.
A Seamless Transition to Superior Technology
The transition to Sabre’s technology infrastructure has been seamless, according to Pam Zager, Executive Vice President of Operations at World Travel, Inc. “Sabre’s team demonstrated exceptional customer care throughout the process, which perfectly complements our own commitment to delivering outstanding service. Their technology provides the flexibility we need to offer our clients innovative, efficient travel management solutions,” Zager said.
This strategic partnership comes at a crucial time for the travel industry, where the demand for personalized travel experiences and seamless technology solutions continues to soar. World Travel’s collaboration with Sabre positions the company to maintain its competitive edge by offering customers the latest tools and travel options to enhance their journeys. This partnership promises to revolutionize the travel industry, offering a glimpse into a future where travel is both personalized and effortless.
