SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Aug. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre
Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR) today announced Business Travel
Services, the new consolidated solution suite from Sabre
Hospitality Solutions that will offer hoteliers easy-to-use tools
with time-saving automations and simplified processes; access to
industry insights and expert guidance; and unlimited access to
travel management companies and consortia partners – all in one
place. InterContinental Hotels Group® (IHG) will be one of the
first hotel companies to use the new solution, and IHG's feedback
will further shape the future of the tool.
The consolidated Business Travel Services solution suite will
consist of three historically separate elements that connect both
sides of the corporate market:
- Nexus platform: A system of record for hotel groups,
used to manage all corporate contracts, sales performance and
planning across teams and properties.
- Sabre Hotel RFP: An exclusive lead-generation tool that
manages corporate business travel for more than 2,700 of the most
traveled companies in the world. Corporate travel buyers make bids
for properties to accept.
- Consortia Services: A tool that provides access and
services to hotels looking to complete submissions to the top 30
consortia programs.
"As we listened to customers, it was clear there was a need for
a more holistic approach to corporate hotel bookings," said
Clinton Anderson, president of
Sabre Hospitality Solutions. "By combining our existing
offerings and collaborating with IHG to further develop this
solution suite, we will provide hoteliers, from enterprise to
independent, the opportunity to make their rates available to a
much broader audience."
"IHG has a long history of digital and technological innovation
- and we're currently rolling out our own hotel management tool,
IHG Concerto, which allows us to partner with a range of solution
providers. So, choosing to work with Sabre as an early adopter of
their new Business Travel Services solution suite will ensure we
can make all the benefits of IHG Concerto available to consortia
and corporate travel partners too," said Derek DeCross, SVP Global Sales, IHG.
"Together we will be able to provide a more seamless service to
customers and guests, designed to enhance usability, satisfaction,
loyalty and revenue. As one of the first companies to use Sabre's
consolidated solution suite, we look forward to providing input to
Sabre to influence the corporate booking space moving forward."
Business Travel Services will be available to hoteliers of all
sizes in Summer 2019.
