Sabre at ATM 2015

Sabre to highlight online travel in ME at ATM

DUBAI, April 24, 2016

Sabre Corporation, a leading global technology provider to the travel and tourism industry, is all geared up for its return to Arabian Travel Market (ATM) this year with a focus on online travel in the Middle East.

Executive speakers from the technology company will discuss industry challenges and latest technology trends in travel and hospitality – including the great growth of online travel in the region, and the evolution of loyalty schemes.

Sabre will be participating for the second consecutive year at ATM, the region's leading global event for the inbound and outbound travel which will take place in Dubai from April 25 to 28.

Sabre has also lined up other exclusive insights on the travel industry at the Showcase Theatre including:
 

  • Go Online, or Go Home: Antonella Vecchio, vice president, Online and Land & Sea, Sabre Travel Network, EMEA - April 26, 15:45 – 16:15: Vecchio will address the growth and potential Sabre sees in the Middle East online travel market, and will clearly state how travel companies should embrace online and mobile strategy now in order to compete in fast evolving market place.  With nine out of 10 of the top global online travel agencies (OTAs) choosing to partner with Sabre, Antonella will explain how Sabre can help the travel agencies in Middle East catch-up with this trend.

“We have the right equation to guide our customers to embrace technology and enter the digital world,” Vecchio said. “Travel companies and OTAs need to differentiate their businesses and create new revenue opportunities.  Recent Expedia research found that the average person visits 38 websites before booking travel, proving that OTAs really need to drive greater traveller loyalty and keep consumers on their site for longer periods. Technology is the key to differentiating OTAs’ services and providing a competitive edge. Considering mobile and providing travellers an easy and more individual shopping experience will transform the travel experience and drive greater loyalty and business results to online players.”
