Under the agreement, hundreds of thousands of travel agents using Sabre's global distribution system (GDS) will have access to BYHOURS' content, significantly increasing the distribution reach and potential revenue opportunities for BYHOURS and hoteliers across the world, while providing travel agents access to the relevant content that their customers demand.
'Giving travel agencies the power to offer relevant content to satisfy the changing needs of their clients is paramount to Sabre. Today, more than ever, travel buyers want access to a broad range of content that better meets the needs of today's traveler,' said
This distribution agreement comes at a key moment for the global travel industry, as COVID-19 has generated an increased need for microstays whether for business, local leisure staycations or stopover travel. As more companies adopt remote work policies, the need for flexible, comfortable and adequate space to work and conduct important meetings is increasing. Similarly, the desire for local leisure or staycations is on the rise, leading to an increase in microstays. Stopover bookings have helped to make the traveler feel more comfortable and secure during a layover or in the case of disrupted travel. The ability to easily book rooms by the hour will address these needs and provide an integral solution for the industry.
'It's a great satisfaction and privilege to be able to partner with pioneering and innovative companies like Sabre. In today's challenging times, synergies for constant improvement and the ability to offer optimal solutions are indispensable. We have full confidence in the value we will generate together for our beloved hospitality and travel industry,' said
