Sabre has unveiled a new map-based hotel search and booking tool for travel agents.
The GDS company has signed a new deal with ZoomAndGo that will use mapping technology to allow agents to search for hotels by destination, using any global street name or address, neighbourhood, airport code or local attraction. They can then sort the search results by chain, price, amenity or other criteria.
Corporate travel agents will also be able to filter for client preferred hotels, ensuring corporate policy compliance.
“Our agreement with ZoomAndGo is a great example of how we are partnering with third party innovators to deliver unique value to travel suppliers and buyers,” said Shelly Terry, vice president of supplier merchandising for the Sabre Travel Network.
“Travel buyers have more choice and transparency and can easily find the best hotel to meet both the traveller’s preference and the corporation’s needs. At the same time, hoteliers have more ways to merchandise their products in Sabre that promote their brand, property attributes and offerings to travel buyers.”
The solution will integrate with existing Sabre Red Workspace hotel shopping and booking processes, to allow agents to use the maps as part of their usual workflow.
“Partnering with Sabre gives us an opportunity to expand our reach further into the travel marketplace,” said Jonathan Haldane, ZoomAndGo’s CEO. “The integration of our technology into Sabre means increased profitability and productivity for agencies.”
