Sabre and TravelSky in alignment
Sabre Holdings has signed two new hotel agreements with TravelSky, China’s global distribution system.
The agreements will see Sabre and TravelSky make their hotel content available to each other’s agency customers and consumer travellers.
"Our agreement gives our hotel partners a unique and extremely valuable channel to tap into the burgeoning Chinese marketplace, and provides our agency customers with significantly more choice and efficient access to Chinese hotel properties," said Hans Belle, vice president and general manager, Asia Pacific, Sabre Travel Network.
Sabre will add TravelSky’s 30,000 Chinese hotel properties to its global distribution system, making it available to Sabre’s 350,000 global agents.
TravelSky will provide its 7,000 agencies in China with access to shop and book more than 100,000 hotel properties from Sabre’s GDS
Hotels who use Sabre’s SynXis Central Reservations System will be able to work directly with TravelSky travel agencies and leisure travellers in China
"This is an important alliance for us as this hotel content was previously not available to our travel agencies or travellers in China," said Xue Qiang, vice-president tour and transportation Solutions of TravelSky Technology Limited.
A similar hotel content agreement was also struck between Sabre’s Asia Pacific subsidiary Abacus, and TravelSky to share hotel content with its agencies.
