Sabre Travel Network, the world's largest and most rewarding marketplace
for buying and selling travel, today announced the launch of VacationStudio
powered by MySabre, a comprehensive leisure travel site that will
allow any travel professional in North America, including agents that do
not currently utilize the Sabre GDS, to shop and book vacation packages
and cruises. VacationStudio, the latest addition to Sabre’s
end-to-end leisure collection, provides convenient access to a broad
range of commissionable leisure travel products through such solutions
as Sabre Cruises, TripTailor, Agent59 and more.
“VacationStudio gives travel
professionals easy access to more of the popular tools, suppliers and
products they need to book customized vacations for their clients, “said
Dan Westbrook, vice president of travel merchandising, Sabre Travel
Network. “With VacationStudio any
agent, including home-based agents, can book commissionable vacation
packages from any of the 13 cruise lines and more than 40 tour
operators, as well as create their own packages dynamically using TripTailor.
All of this can be accomplished through one streamlined, comprehensive
travel site.”
Registration for VacationStudio is free and no contract is
required. Agencies that are not currently Sabre Connected can
follow an easy registration process at www.vacationstudio.net
to establish secure access to the industry’s
leading leisure travel suppliers. Current Sabre Connected
customers automatically have access to the site within MySabre
under the tab titled VacationStudio.
Powered by MySabre and available to all travel professionals in
the U.S. and Canada, VacationStudio provides agents the ability
to access to shop and book vacations using Sabre Cruises, TripTailor,
Agent59, Sabre Vacations and Sabre Travel Extras. Sabre
Travel Protection is also available to travel professionals through
Vacation Studio. Sabre Connected agents can also utilize Sabre
Virtually There to send itineraries, travel information and ticket
receipts via e-mail to their customers.
While VacationStudio is available to all travel professionals in
North America, Sabre Connected agents will continue to receive
exclusive benefits from Sabre. “Our Sabre
Connected travel agents will continue to receive exclusive benefits
including leading airline and hotel content, advanced shopping and
pricing tools, intelligent notification of special promotions and
package offers right from the air booking screen, vacation reservation
merge back features and more,” said Westbrook. “VacationStudio
will enable them to further streamline their shopping and booking
process, allowing them to book more travel, and in turn, make more money.”
VacationStudio also includes special supplier promotions, easy
site navigation, sticky notes for agent memos, an agent toolkit, and a
streamlined support system.
“As we talked to travel professionals, it was
clear they have two key objectives - maximize their income and reduce
the amount of time required to book travel,”
said Westbrook. “Sabre's VacationStudio
accomplishes both of those goals by providing a streamlined,
comprehensive booking tool that provides access to commissionable,
leisure travel products.”
VacationStudio also provides extensive support and training
resources for leisure agents. Online training courses are free and
include self-paced training tutorials, agent communities and a library
of reference materials on topics ranging from booking cruises to
creating custom vacation packages through VacationStudio.
Additionally agents receive toll-free support for assistance in using
the booking tools.
With the addition of VacationStudio, Sabre’s
end-to-end leisure collection becomes the most comprehensive, compelling
solution for any leisure-focused travel professional by providing:
The best travel product selection, including unique opportunities to
make more money
Advanced customer service tools to build lasting relationships
The most popular accounting and reporting solutions to better manage
