Sabre signs GCC-wide agreement with Dadabhai Travel

The deal means Dadabhai Travel will now exclusively use Sabre's innovative travel technology solutions to book travel packages for its customers across the region. Sabre products will also support Dadabhai as they continue to expand on their regional reach and increase their portfolio of corporate accounts. This includes Sabre's Web Booking Engine, an advanced internet booking tool that will help the regional travel giant tap into the lucrative and competitive online marketplace.

Daniel Naoumovitch, Sabre's chief executive, said: "Sabre and Dadabhai have been successful business partners for over a decade. And as they continue to grow and expand operations well beyond their base in Bahrain, it makes sense for Dadabhai to broaden its partnership with Sabre and take advantage of our reach into every GCC county."

"Dadabhai Travel has signed up for our end-to-end travel e-commerce solution that will help its business break into a growing market segment. With Sabre Web Booking Engine, Dadabhai Travel customers will have access to real-time fares allowing them to book air travel, hotel and car hire," added Naoumovitch.

Aziz Gilitwala, Dadabhai's managing director, said, "Our company philosophy is to provide unrivalled service standards to customers. In Sabre we have a trusted partner that shares our vision and dedication. Sabre's long-standing experience across the region gives it a unique insight into the Middle Eastern travel industry, which has allowed it to develop the technology to match our unique requirements."

Additionally, Dadabhai Travel will have access to the award winning Sabre Red Workspace, which 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.

Sabre Travel Network Middle East currently operates in 23 offices across 12 MENA countries.
