Sabre Hospitality, a division of tech company Sabre Corp., has partnered with weather guarantee services Sensible Weather Technologies. This collaboration will provide protection from weather-related problems for guests booking through Sabre Hospitality’s SynXis Booking Engine.
Under this agreement, Sensible’s Weather Guarantee will be integrated into Sabre Hospitality’s SynXis Booking Engine and guests at these properties will be automatically reimbursed for specific weather-related events while they are on site, enabling them to book alternative experiences.
“This collaboration with Sensible Weather supports Sabre’s broader eCommerce retailing strategy,” Sabre Hospitality's Head of Distribution Product Management Ethan Wiseman said in a statement. “By integrating the leading weather guarantee product, we are transforming the booking journey, giving consumers more confidence to commit to travel plans. Our integration with Sensible Weather is yet another example of how Sabre Hospitality is driving the transformation of hotel eCommerce by empowering hoteliers with innovative services that meet evolving traveler needs.”
Sensible’s Weather Guarantee, embedded within the SynXis platform, aims to help hotels boost booking conversions, reduce cancellations and enhance guest satisfaction by ensuring a positive experience, regardless of weather disruptions.
“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Sabre Hospitality to bring Weather Guarantees to their extensive network of hotels,” said Nick Cavanaugh, Ph.D., CEO of Sensible Weather. “We know weather is among the top concerns for travelers, and our mission is to give them peace of mind when booking their hotel stays online. Consumers feel more confident booking when they have the protection of a Weather Guarantee available to them. Sensible’s integration into the SynXis platform offers a seamless way for hotels to potentially increase booking conversion at checkout, in addition to enhancing guest satisfaction when unexpected weather impacts their trip.”
