Post Views: 106 Sabre Hospitality announced a renewal agreement with Kerzner International, optimizing its distribution with retailing capabilities through Sabre's SynXis platform. By leveraging the SynXis Booking Engine, Kerzner will be offering ancillaries alongside room reservations. Additionally, Kerzner has renewed its agreement to distribute hotel content through Sabre Hospitality's Global Distribution System network. Kerzner is a leading international developer and operator of destination resorts, ultra-luxury hotels and residences and innovative entertainment and hospitality experiences and has a total of 23 properties located globally across Dubai, Sanya, Cape Town, Malaysia, Rwanda, Greece, Mauritius, Mexico, Maldives, Morocco, USA and Montenegro. As a long-time Sabre Hospitality customer, Kerzner's expertise in the Middle East alongside Sabre's SynXis platform has helped provide suppliers and distributors increased access, personalization, and revenue opportunities. '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.
