SOUTHLAKE, Texas, 16 June �  SynXis, the Sabre Holdings (NYSE:TSG) business that provides reservation management, distribution and technology services for hotels around the world, announced today a strategic relationship with Nirvana Technology that gives SynXis customers the ability to easily manage and distribute activity-based reservations in cooperation with the SynXis guest room booking engine.  Guests may now build and manage their entire itinerary using single-image availability and avoid the typical phone-tag and email negotiations. 

Using Nirvana�s scheduling technology, hotels and resorts can now offer their guests the ability to schedule spa services, dining, transportation, golf, fitness, tennis, adventure tours and an almost unlimited number of other guest services.  SynXis customers that are already capturing room revenue through their booking engine can now expand the online booking process to gain additional revenue from their guests, while at the same time improving guest satisfaction.

�SynXis is always looking for ways to increase distribution for our hotels and their products,� commented Scott Brodows, Chief Operating Officer for SynXis.  �Nirvana�s scheduling products are a great complement to the dynamic packaging feature of our booking engine.  This integration truly provides the convenience of a one-stop shopping experience for the guest.�

�This is an industry first as on-line guests will be offered immediate confirmation of their activity bookings, not just �vouchers� to be used for scheduling at a later time.  Our fully exposed Web Services layer allows us rapid integration to central reservation and electronic distribution systems,� said Brian Cunningham, CEO of Nirvana Technology.  �SynXis� technology and their forward thinking approach to distribution have made them easy to work with.  We look forward to offering our products to their impressive customer base.�
