Sabre and BCD Travel have announced a partnership that will see the
two businesses co-investing and collaborating on a number of
technology-driven partnerships.
Under the agreement, BCD Travel, which already has an existing
partnership with Sabre, expects to increase its booking levels with
Sabre. The two businesses will also focus on creative solutions for
managing growing complexities and evolving customer expectations, as
well as transforming the impacts of technology and marketplace dynamics
into opportunities.
“BCD Travel is a long-time, valued Sabre partner. Over the years,
we’ve tackled industry challenges, innovated and grown together. Today,
we take another important step in our partnership as we mutually commit
to advancing the future of travel,” said Kurt Ekert, president of Sabre.
“This agreement demonstrates our continuing commitment to helping BCD
achieve its objectives to differentiate its offerings, improve
operational efficiency and grow. Whether that takes the form of
providing solutions, or enabling solutions, we will continue to build
and sustain the value-added relationship we’ve enjoyed with BCD for so
many years.”
“This agreement is in line with our strategy to improve our agility,
flexibility and responsiveness in a shifting environment,” said BCD
Travel CEO and president John Snyder.
“By extending our long-standing partnership with Sabre, we’ll
streamline our distribution technology footprint and simplify our
operational, technical and future development infrastructure, allowing
us to move more rapidly on our clients’ behalf as we innovate,
anticipate and adjust to emerging market opportunities.”
