JTB Business Travel is delighted to announce that it has partnered with Sabre Corporation, which offers the travel industry’s broadest range of technology solutions including data-driven business intelligence, mobile, and distribution solutions.
At JTB Business Travel, we see ourselves as an extension of your organization, constantly looking for the best ways to help you achieve your goals so partnering with Sabre, whose company mission is to provide technology that reimagines the business of travel, is the perfect fit.
Why Sabre And What Does This Mean For You?
We are partnering with Sabre because its robust solutions, which handle over a third of the world’s travel agency transactions, will enable us to better serve your travel program. Sabre enables us to support the success of your travel program because:
- They have the technology to harness market dynamics to work to your advantage every day by connecting more than 144 countries to more than 400 airlines, over 750,000 unique lodging properties, 39 car rental brands, 52 rail providers and other global travel suppliers.
- Their technology can provide tools and services to facilitate a smooth and easy booking process, minimizing travel program fragmentation and ensuring your business travelers have a frictionless and productive travel experience.
- They can deliver ultimate, tangible savings in travel spend by finding the best value for each trip with personalized travel options, and by providing flexible and configurable solutions designed to help you ensure policy compliance and travel program success.
Will My Travelers Or Booking Process Be Impacted?
No, the upgrade will not affect your travelers, the ability to make travel bookings or systems access. Rest assured, the partner has unrivaled experience in executing large-scale agency conversions in a harmonious manner, complete with comprehensive consultant training and proven technology to migrate data – so the process will be seamless for you.
What Will Change And When?
We will be upgrading our technology to achieve the above benefits during the week of December 2nd 2019. There should be minimal impact on your travelers and travel arrangers when the cutover from the current GDS, Amadeus to the new GDS, Sabre occurs.
Once the cutover is complete, you will notice changes to the current documents that you receive as we move towards the new technology with a new format.
Rest assured, Sabre has unrivaled experience in executing large-scale agency conversions in a harmonious manner, complete with proven technology to migrate data – so that the process will be seamless for you.
What Do You Need To Do?
Nothing except be excited by the change. Your travel program will benefit from Sabre’s unique expertise, combined with its advanced and flexible portfolio. In fact, 86 of the Business Travel News Top 100 travel programs are Sabre customers. For the past 17 years, recipients of the Multinational BTN Travel Manager of the Year or the Best Practitioner awards have successfully used Sabre products to manage their travel programs.
Thank you in advance for your continued partnership and for being part of this journey with JTB Business Travel.
