Sabre, a global technology company for the travel industry, expanded its inventory of international hotels by signing a long-term agreement with Destinations of the World (DOTW), the firm that owns one of the world's leading hotel content aggregator systems.
The properties are already listed on TotalTrip, Sabre's e-commerce platform used by thousands of agents in Latin America to consult, book and prepay for hotels and extra travel services.
Through this agreement with DOTW TotalTrip gives travel agents direct access to more than 80,000 properties around the world, with outstanding options in destinations in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Part of the Sabre market for travel options, TotalTrip allows agencies to increase their revenue opportunities by marketing hotels in international destinations.
"Given the increase in emissive tourism throughout Latin America, we noticed a greater demand for quality properties and particularly lodging services in exotic destinations," says Roberto Rosales Santiago, general manager of TotalTrip, a trademark of Sabre Travel Network.
"Our new agreement with DOTW greatly increases our listing of hotels in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, allowing agents to better serve travellers' expectations and budgets. TotalTrip is the only solution for hotel bookings that allows them to check availability and access thousands of accommodation offers around the world, while controlling their commissions and ensuring profits for each reservation," says Rosales.
For the global distribution of 80,000 hotels, DOTW has a secure and dynamic connection to 44 international hotel chains and more than 100 brands, facilitating access to features such as "Best Rate" and last-minute availability.
The company is renowned for offering the most extensive hotel inventory and dedicated to exotic destinations.
Keith Fernandez, founder and CEO of DOTW, added, "We are excited about the opportunity to extend the reach of our hotel inventory to TotalTrip and the Sabre market for travel options. We aim to serve its customers through an extensive range of competitive products, through a conveniently integrated booking process and above all to contribute to the pre-paid service scheme."
Destinations of the World is the latest hotel aggregator system that incorporates its content into TotalTrip. Sabre's e-commerce platform for hotels continues to expand alternatives for travel agencies, through Travelocity.com content and other agreements with suppliers Tourico Holidays, HotelBeds and GTA.
TotalTrip is available in Spanish, Portuguese and English for all travel agents in Latin America connected to the Sabre system. It recently implemented technology to enable multiple means of payment throughout the region.
