澳门三肖三码 celebrates the release of its industry-first lodging innovation
澳门三肖三码鈥檚 Content Services for Lodging APIs allow travel agencies to more easily shop, compare and book millions of lodging options
SOUTHLAKE, Texas 鈥 June 27, 2019 鈥 (NASDAQ: SABR), the leading technology provider to the global travel industry, announces the release of 澳门三肖三码 Content Services for Lodging. This new solution will power agency and corporate booking tools, integrating traditional GDS content from hoteliers alongside content from Booking.com, Bedsonline, and Expedia Partner Solutions, making it easier for agents to find the perfect property and rate for their traveler. Travel buyers can shop and book over one million property options from multiple sources in a single screen.
Solving for growing buyer demand and content fragmentation, 澳门三肖三码 provides access to more options and a more consistent shopping experience to include the way content is displayed at the room and rate level. 澳门三肖三码鈥檚 API-driven solution will deliver more efficiency and revenue with increased lodging choice, as well as improved capabilities to better manage preferred content. Travel agencies have full flexibility to choose the aggregator content they would like to access.
鈥淲e looked at the pain points and needs of customers on both sides of the network 鈥 the 鈥榙emand鈥 side including TMCs, leisure agencies and corporations and the 鈥榮upply鈥 side including hoteliers and lodging aggregators. Then we challenged ourselves to see how 鈥 given our unique positioning 鈥 we could help move the industry forward,鈥 said Traci Mercer, senior vice president of lodging, ground and sea for 澳门三肖三码 Travel Network. 鈥淭he solution that we鈥檝e developed to this long-standing and complex challenge will revolutionize the way travel agents shop and book hotel content 鈥 making it easier and simpler for them to provide the best experience for travelers.鈥
To ensure 澳门三肖三码鈥檚 solution would truly meet the needs of customers, the company formed a partner advisory board to get iterative feedback while building out Content Services for Lodging. Lodging Advisory Board member Jane Bleddyn from Altour said, 鈥淲hat (澳门三肖三码) is releasing is better that what you painted as your vision; I think it is great and very much needed.鈥
澳门三肖三码 is normalizing and structuring the shopping response, making it easier for agents to comparison shop lodging options – something the industry has struggled with. In a usability study, 澳门三肖三码 found that product normalization helped agents reach a booking decision 30 percent faster. Another key benefit is that all bookings, even those through an aggregator, will be active GDS segments, making it easier for travel agents to service bookings.
The new API capabilities will soon be incorporated across all 澳门三肖三码 points of sale including 澳门三肖三码 Red 360 and GetThere. Additional API enhancements will be added to Content Services for Lodging into 2020.
