Sabre Red showcased at Business Travel Show in Dubai

Built on a future-ready, open platform, the Sabre Red Workspace provides agencies with faster start up times, high performance even in low bandwidth areas, rock solid stability and quick and easy access to content, resulting in increased productivity and efficiency. The new solution was showcased by STNME and Sabre's UAE partners EmQuest, at the Business Travel Show in Dubai held last October 25 and 26 at Madinat Arena, Madinat Jumeirah Conference Centre.

"Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive with almost all agencies seeing immediate benefits from using the new Sabre Red Workspace," said Daniel Naoumovitch, CEO, Sabre Travel Network Middle East (STNME). "Our 500 agencies in the Middle East region join more than 4,000 customers in over 70 countries around the world who have upgraded to the new Sabre Red Workspace."

Naz Nizari, Senior Vice President, EmQuest, said, "The Workspace is a brand new concept, unlike any other solution in the market. It's fast, intuitive and provides agents with quick and easy access to content, and all the tools needed to seamlessly manage a traveller's requirements from start to finish and we expect to have all of our customers transitioned to the Sabre Red Workspace over the coming months."

Sabre Red is an innovative total travel solution designed to help agencies drive customer loyalty and enhance business performance.
