 Sabre has expanded its Red 360 toolkit with a
new booking solution designed for new and independent travel
consultants.

The Sabre Red Launchpad reduces training time for
new-to-industry travel consultants and provides a light-weight way
for independent consultants who do not currently use an
aggregator, like Sabre, to access the breadth of content and
robust capabilities that Sabre provides through its travel
marketplace.

In the coming weeks, Internova Travel Group, as
launch partner, will roll out a
co-branded version of the product – Internova SNAP, Powered by
Sabre – to its thousands of travel advisors in the USA.

Sabre will
rollout Sabre Red Launchpad globally in the coming months.

“Sabre Red Launchpad expands the Sabre Red
toolkit,” said Kathy Morgan, Vice President of Product Management,
Distribution Experience, Sabre Travel Solutions. “We’re giving
travel agencies more choice and flexibility in how they manage
their workforces. Some consultants may work purely in Sabre Red
Launchpad and others may choose to use the expanded capabilities
of Sabre Red 360 over time. We feel fortunate to innovate
alongside visionary companies like Internova Travel Group to
deliver new technologies that enhance experiences for travel
advisors and the travelers we serve.”

Like consumer travel applications, Sabre Red
Launchpad provides users with a streamlined graphical user
interface (GUI) that helps them shop and book basic air, hotel
and car itineraries with only a few clicks.

The product supports
NDC offers, low-cost carrier XML content, and traditional
ATPCO/EDIFACT options.

“To recruit talent to our industry, we need modern
travel retailing tools that do not require new hires to learn a
new language to operate. In addition, we’re pleased that SNAP will
help our independent agents to benefit from working with
aggregators, like Sabre, in a way that works for them. In
collaboration with Sabre, we’re proud to introduce a new chapter
in the way we shop and book travel,” said Peter Vlitas, Executive
Vice President, Partner Relations at Internova Travel Group.

Sabre Red Launchpad co-exists alongside Sabre’s
existing agency booking solution, Sabre Red 360. If complex
servicing needs arise, Sabre Red Launchpad users can hand-off
bookings seamlessly to teammates working in Sabre Red 360.

Throughout 2024, Sabre will invite more agencies to join Internova
as part of the Sabre Red Launchpad early adopter program.
