Hoteliers say
Hoteliers like Sabre/Synxis for its superior technology that enhances direct channel conversion and distribution reach, contributing to increased revenue. Its integration with multiple partners and stable system with minimal service interruptions are highly valued. However, some criticize the slow innovation on core platforms, cumbersome customer support, and tedious manual tasks. The platform excels in providing up-to-date booking engine enhancements and effective connectivity solutions.

Question:
Based on your experience with this product or service, if you could give one piece of advice to a hotelier considering this product or service, what would it be?
Answer:
Ease of set up, use and general functionality. One-stop shop with several products and services under one umbrella, hence when there is a need to call out for support, the support team, in general is very knowledgeable. I am however concerned with the future CRS business model and minimum revenue for contracting with Sabre. Many independent / smaller properties will have a hard time reaching a specific revenue target and with that will not be considered for Sabre/CRS.
