Sabre and Expedia partner in Asia
Expedia’s online business in Singapore and Malaysia will now be powered by Sabre technology, "providing online shoppers with some of the broadest and most competitively-priced travel options in the region," the companies said.
The expanded agreement briings Expedia Sabre’s online fare search technology and access to global travel supplier content from both Sabre and Abacus, the leading global distribution provider (GDS) in Asia, of which Sabre is a part owner.
Greg Schulze , SVP Global Tour & Transport, Expedia, Inc., said, "Sabre is a long-standing global partner who has played an important role in helping us grow our scale around the world. Our partnership in Asia is driven by a mutual desire to provide consumers exactly what they want – access to well-priced travel options, accessible anywhere and everywhere."
Sabre "has large teams around the world whose only job is to obsess over our low fare search algorithms," said president Greg Webb. "Agencies in Asia tend to be early adopters of technology so it’s perfect for Sabre, Abacus, and Expedia to work together to bring emerging technologies to willing travelers."
Sabre and Expedia already partner in North America and Latin America.
Expedia.com bills itself as the world’s largest full-service online travel agency, with localized sites in 30 countries. It runs Hotels.com, Hotwire, Egencia, eLong in China, Venere.com in Europe, Classic Vacations, and Expedia CruiseShipCenter.
