Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR),
a leading software and technology provider that powers the global travel
industry, today announced a new agreement with Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide.
The hotel chain will deploy the Sabre SynXis Central Reservation System (CRS) to reach
the broadest points of distribution in the industry as they forge ahead with
ambitions to double the size of their property portfolio.
Under
the agreement, Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide will be using the SynXis
platform to expand its reach across global distribution channels. The chain is
also deploying SynXis Booking Engine to drive direct bookings and
SynXis Channel Connect to connect to hundreds of OTA channels globally. The
addition of Seibu hotels to Sabre's SynXis platform means its properties are
available to book through Sabre's own global GDS as well as others, corporates,
travel management companies, and almost 900,000 travel agents and tour
operators globally, significantly increasing distribution channels and revenue
opportunities.
"We
have aggressive plans to double our hotel numbers to 250, so it's essential
that we are working with the right technology partner with the advanced,
scalable solutions, and the future-focused mindset we need to support
those ambitions," said Eiichi Akamatsu, Director, Executive Managing
Officer, Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide. "Given our rapidly expanding
scale, Sabre SynXis will enable us to consolidate operations into one intuitive
ecosystem so we can improve the guest experience while increasing our geographic
footprint and driving efficiencies for our international growth."
With
more than a century of hospitality experience, Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide is
focused on asset-light hotel operations, with an aim to expand its scale
two-fold. Seibu Prince brands include The Prince, Grand Prince Hotel, Prince
Hotel, Prince Smart Inn, The Prince Akatoki, Policy, Park Regis by
Prince, Park Regis Park Proxi, and Leisure Inn overseas. These include hotels
in major Japanese cities and resort areas such as Tokyo and Kyoto,
as well as popular destinations in Asia, the Middle East, Oceania,
the US, and Europe. It will continue to develop its business to achieve
its goal of expanding its network to 250 hotels in Japan and abroad.
"We're
thrilled to welcome Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide to our Sabre SynXis
family," said Frank Trampert, senior vice president, global managing
director of community sales for Sabre Hospitality Solutions. "Seibu Prince
Hotels Worldwide will now be able to gain an intuitive chain-wide performance
overview and valuable insights to enable improved distribution, increased
bookings, and optimized offerings for guests at its existing, and future,
hotels. We're looking forward to many more Seibu properties connecting to the
SynXis platform as Prince drive forward their exciting expansion plans."
