Sabre has added 63,000 new hotel properties to its global distribution system (GDS), thanks to a participation agreement between Sabre Corporation and Expedia Affiliate Network (EAN).
As a result of the new integration with EAN, travel agencies will now have access to the EAN rates and availability through the Sabre GDS.
Sabre Travel Network vice president of travel product solutions Shelly Terry said: “Travel agencies will have more hotel options to offer their customers. Additionally, more hotels in the Sabre travel marketplace will have the ability to merchandise their products, property attributes and personalise offerings to travelers.
Vice president of sales for EAN brand Christian Gerron said: “Expedia Affiliate Network is excited to bring thousands of new properties across the globe to Sabre’s valued partner network. Expedia is continuing to grow hotel supply by thousands of hotels each month and the Sabre agent community will have the ability to deliver more solutions to their customers.”
Agents can shop and book properties through the Sabre Red Workspace. The additional properties are a wide range of property types, including full-service hotels and resorts, B and Bs. small inns, airport hotels, boutique hotels, budget hotels, and serviced apartments.
While the new hotel content covers all regions, many of the properties are in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, typically where hotel property content is known for being highly fragmented.
