| July 21, 2010 Tzell Travel Group & Travel Leaders Corporate Sign With Sabre | |
| Tzell Travel Group and Travel Leaders Corporate have signed a new long-term agreement with Sabre Travel Network, provider of high performance solutions for the global travel industry. The two agencies, both divisions of Travel Leaders Group, which are enjoying a 40% growth in sales this year, intend to leverage their partnership with Sabre to achieve their growth objectives through improved efficiency and an enhanced service offering that meets the evolving needs of corporate and leisure travelers. "We have a long-standing relationship with Sabre, and over the years they have become a trusted and valued partner in the growth and expansion of our business," said Jerry Behrens, Senior Vice President of Tzell Travel Group. "Their support, expertise and superior product capabilities were all key factors in our decision to extend and grow our partnership under a new long-term agreement. We see great potential in the new capabilities coming as part of the new Sabre Red portfolio, which I'm confident will enable us to generate new streams of revenue, optimize the way we serve customers and deliver bottom line results for our business. In the next few months, we will be upgrading to the new Sabre Red Workspace and my expectation is that our agents will see enhanced performance," he said. Unveiled last month, Sabre Red is a total travel solution designed to help agencies drive customer loyalty and power business performance. The portfolio includes a range of powerful new capabilities that span the entire spectrum of an agency's business from shopping and booking travel, to serving customers throughout their trip, to using business intelligence for insight and continuous improvement. Users will be able to access new mobile capabilities, self-service traveler features and the ability to shop by total price for ancillary services. In addition to upgrading to the Sabre Red Workspace, Tzell and Travel Leaders will also introduce new Sabre Red mobile traveler services and supplier optimization tools that have been proven to help agencies increase preferred supplier sales by up to 20 percent. "We have a successful and collaborative relationship with Tzell and Travel Leaders, and a history of investing in new technology to respond to emerging trends and new traveler behaviors including the growth in appetite for new mobile and ancillary services," said Jay Jones Senior Vice President, Sabre Travel Network, Americas. "Our customer was looking for a true business partner to help them achieve an even higher level of performance across their entire business operation, and we are honored to be selected as that partner under this new long-term agreement." www.sabre-holdings.com | |
