Travelgenio, one of Europe\u2019s largest online travel agencies (OTA), has expanded its partnership with Sabre Corporation and has chosen it as the preferred partner for virtual card technology. Rolling out Sabre\u2019s automation and virtual payment technologies (Sabre Virtual Payments) is a cornerstone of Travelgenio\u2019s strategy to tap into the expected surge in leisure travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expansion of its relationship with Sabre marks a new chapter for Travelgenio and is part of a move to streamline its GDS relationships and focus on leveraging technology to create a compelling shopping experience. Operating in more than 50 countries worldwide, Travelgenio will now use Sabre\u2019s industry-leading technology to help boost its revenue and transform its business during the anticipated recovery period and beyond. One key focus will be on Sabre\u2019s integrated automation technology, which will enable the OTA to eliminate many manual processes \u2013 reducing costs, removing friction from the travel experience and \u2013 ultimately \u2013 getting people travelling again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the current state of the travel industry, we are laser-focused on optimizing conversions and performance, while also managing our expenses,\u201d said Joost Schuring, CEO at Travelgenio. \u201cThis relies on our investment in technology that creates a highly intelligent and tailored shopping experience for our customers. We\u2019ve been thoroughly impressed by Sabre\u2019s response to a global crisis \u2013 accelerating the creation of highly responsive technology and raising capital to weather this storm, and to invest in its robust, stable and agile platform that supports the industry\u2019s expected recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Travelgenio has already started using Sabre Virtual Payments. The payments sector is expected to play a crucial role in the recovery of travel, creating an urgent need for travel companies to adopt more sophisticated payment technology to drive efficiencies in their businesses. As one of the most flexible electronic payment solutions in the travel industry, Sabre Virtual Payments offers multi-bank, multi-card, credit and prepaid account payments, which allow customers to select the best payment option and the most favorable payment terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnline travel is at the forefront of the industry\u2019s expected recovery and, with its global presence and deep expertise in the consumer digital space, Travelgenio has the potential to recover fast,\u201d said Sean McDonald, vice president \u2013 online, Sabre Travel Solutions. \u201cThis is a pivotal moment \u2013 travel companies must act fast to secure their recovery opportunities, while making long-term investments in robust technology that supports future growth. Travelgenio\u2019s decision to streamline its GDS strategy and expand its relationship with Sabre will position the OTA to grow its business during the recovery and beyond. Investing in Sabre Virtual Payments, for example, couldn\u2019t have come at a better time; virtual payments will be front and center for helping travel companies recover and mitigate against future risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to supporting its customers through the COVID-19 pandemic, Sabre is working to realize its long-term vision regarding personalized travel.
