OMAN – The Oman government has taken a significant step towards enhancing its travel management operations by partnering with Sabre Hospitality, a global leader in travel technology.

This collaboration aims to drive digital transformation across key government departments through a series of innovative training workshops. 

Sabre, which has been a trusted partner of the Omani government for 15 years, is providing advanced solutions to optimize travel management, streamline processes, and reduce costs.

Held at Sabre’s regional headquarters in Bahrain, these two-week training sessions are designed to upskill the travel management teams from the Diwan of Royal Court, Royal Court Affairs, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

Participants are learning to use advanced tools such as Sabre 360 Graphical View and New Distribution Capability (NDC), focusing on improving operational efficiency and automating manual processes.

As part of Oman’s broader digital transformation initiative, the government is aiming to set new benchmarks in travel management efficiency. This collaboration also highlights Oman’s position as a regional leader in adopting cutting-edge solutions for government operations.

Sabre Hospitality partners Sensible Weather

Meanwhile, Sabre Hospitality has partnered with weather guarantee services Sensible Weather Technologies.

This collaboration will allow guests booking through Sabre Hospitality’s SynXis Booking Engine to benefit from weather protection for their stays.

Under this agreement, Sensible’s Weather Guarantee will be seamlessly integrated into the SynXis platform, giving guests greater confidence when booking their travel. 

For hotels that opt-in, guests will be automatically reimbursed for specific weather-related events while they are on site, enabling them to book alternative experiences.

Sensible’s Weather Guarantee, embedded within the SynXis platform, helps hotels boost booking conversions, reduce cancellations, and enhance guest satisfaction by ensuring a positive experience, regardless of weather disruptions. 

By offering a Weather Guarantee at the point of booking, Sabre and Sensible Weather are elevating the guest journey, providing travelers with peace of mind and confidence in their plans.
