Kerzner renews its deal with Sabre to enhance SynXis
Sabre Hospitality, a division of Sabre Corporation, has renewed its agreement with Kerzner International to optimise its distribution and retailing capabilities through Sabre's SynXis platform.
Kerzner will offer ancillaries alongside room reservations and will distribute hotel content through Sabre Hospitality's Global Distribution System network.
Kerzner, a leading international developer and operator of destination resorts, ultra-luxury hotels, and residences, has 23 properties worldwide. Sabre's SynXis platform has helped suppliers and distributors increase access, personalisation, and revenue opportunities in the Middle East.
'Sabre is a trusted provider for all of our distribution needs, and we are excited to roll out retailing across the portfolio in the coming months ahead within SynXis Booking Engine to help us increase new revenue streams previously untapped,' said Sandrine Bittencourt, Director Global Distribution, Kerzner International.
The SynXis Central Reservation System (SynXis CRS) helps hoteliers achieve consistent distribution across channels including online travel agencies (OTAs), global distribution systems (GDSs), booking engines, and call centers at a corporate or property level.
The technology also provides a single interface to facilitate decisions across stakeholders and maintain advanced controls across preferred distribution channels.
SynXis Retailing empowers hotels to sell experiences, goods, policies, and services with or without a room reservation.
'We are supporting a foundation for growth through our distribution and retailing solutions that help hotels generate revenue today while also equipping them to excel in the future travel ecosystem,' said Frank Trampert, Senior Vice President & Global Managing Director Commercial, Sabre Hospitality. 'Hotels using SynXis Retailing earned an average of $300 in additional spend per booking, with top-performing properties projected to exceed $1 million in non-room revenue annually. Kerzner saw an increase of nearly 97 percent in transaction growth from 2022 to 2024 through its use of the SynXis CRS and custom technology usage through Sabre Hospitality's platform.'
