SOUTHLAKE, Texas and DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Hospitality, a division of Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR) a leading global travel technology company, has announced a renewal agreement with Kerzner International, optimizing its distribution with retailing capabilities through Sabre's SynXis platform. By leveraging the SynXis Booking Engine, Kerzner will be offering ancillaries alongside room reservations. Additionally, Kerzner has renewed its agreement to distribute hotel content through Sabre Hospitality's Global Distribution System network.

Kerzner is a leading international developer and operator of destination resorts, ultra-luxury hotels and residences and innovative entertainment and hospitality experiences and has a total of 23 properties located globally across Dubai, Sanya, Cape Town, Malaysia, Rwanda, Greece, Mauritius, Mexico, Maldives, Morocco, USA and Montenegro. As a long-time Sabre Hospitality customer, Kerzner's expertise in the Middle East alongside Sabre's SynXis platform has helped provide suppliers and distributors increased access, personalization, and revenue opportunities.

"Sabre is a trusted provider for all of our distribution needs, and we are excited to roll out retailing across the portfolio in the coming months ahead within SynXis Booking Engine to help us increase new revenue streams previously untapped," said Sandrine Bittencourt, Director Global Distribution, Kerzner International.

The SynXis Central Reservation System (SynXis CRS) helps hoteliers achieve consistent distribution across channels including online travel agencies (OTAs), global distribution systems (GDSs), booking engines, and call centers at a corporate or property level. The technology also provides a single interface to facilitate decisions across stakeholders and maintain advanced controls across preferred distribution channels. SynXis Retailing empowers hotels to sell experiences, goods, policies, and services with or without a room reservation.

"We are supporting a foundation for growth through our distribution and retailing solutions that help hotels generate revenue today while also equipping them to excel in the future travel ecosystem," said Frank Trampert, Senior Vice President & Global Managing Director Commercial, Sabre Hospitality. "Hotels using SynXis Retailing earned an average of $300 in additional spend per booking, with top-performing properties projected to exceed $1 million in non-room revenue annually. Kerzner saw an increase of nearly 97 percent in transaction growth from 2022 to 2024 through its use of the SynXis CRS and custom technology usage through Sabre Hospitality's platform."
