SOUTHLAKE, Texas, March 10, 2010 – While many in the hospitality industry have been eager to usher out 2009 and hope for a better 2010, newly-formed Sabre Hospitality Solutions continues to build upon the momentum it gathered in 2009 and has started 2010 by helping customers experience further growth in bookings and revenues. This year Sabre Hospitality Solutions continues to keep its customers on the leading edge of new technology trends, including the use of mobile devices to merchandise their hotels and chains with a customized mobile Website and booking engine. As its own distribution channel, mobile bookings can be tracked separately and hotels can offer promotions unique to the mobile user. Since its formation in mid-2009, Sabre Hospitality Solutions has added a record number of customers and surpassed 10,000 properties using its SynXis Central Reservations System (CRS). Even in a recession year, Sabre Hospitality Solutions’ CRS customers saw growth in overall same-store sales and the outlook is even brighter as the group started this year with a 32 percent daily average increase in overall bookings (January 2010 compared to January 2009). In 2009, Sabre Hospitality Solutions generated over USD $9.5 billion in hotel room revenue for its customers. Some noteworthy customers who selected Sabre Hospitality Solutions in 2009 include: The Preferred Hotel Group, JAL Hotels, Langham Hotels International, Park Hotel Group, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Condé Nast Johansens, De Historiske Hotels of Norway, Japan Rail Hotel Group, Westcord Hotels, Hamilton Island, and Meritus Hotels & Resorts. “Last year was an exciting time for Sabre as we combined five companies, all leaders in their respective specialties, into Sabre Hospitality Solutions. We believe that creating one hospitality group with a comprehensive, global range of solutions for hoteliers will provide something that no other company can offer,” said Felix Laboy, president and general manager of Sabre Hospitality Solutions. “Sabre Hospitality will set the gold standard for what the industry can expect from its marketing and distribution partners in terms of innovation, technology, competitiveness and compatibility. We look forward to growing along with our customers in 2010.” Hoteliers have said Sabre Hospitality Solutions was their clear choice because they are making significant investments to provide innovations to the industry, the strength and reliability of the group’s distribution tools, and their leadership position in the industry.
