SINGAPORE and MALÉ, Maldives – 17 June 2024 – Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR), a leading software and technology provider that powers the global travel industry, today announced a new agreement with esteemed Maldivian owned and founded hospitality group Sun Siyam Resorts. The company, which has over 30 years of experience, owning and managing five affordable luxury private island properties in the Maldives and a boutique beach retreat on the East Coast of Sri Lanka, has selected a comprehensive suite of solutions from Sabre Hospitality’s SynXis, the leading global commerce and distribution platform, to grow both reach and revenue.

Sabre’s SynXis Central Reservations System (CRS) will serve as the cornerstone of Sun Siyam’s distribution infrastructure. With the addition of Sabre Channel Connect, GDS distribution and SynXis Booking Engine, Sun Siyam Resorts will be able to seamlessly distribute its room inventory on its direct channel, as well as to an extensive network of travel agencies worldwide, 600+ global OTAs, global distribution systems including Sabre’s own, and major global meta search engines such as Google, TripAdvisor and Kayak. The brand has also subscribed to Sabre Hospitality’s Corporate Booking Tool to enable travel agents to manage wholesale bookings at its hotels.

Additionally, SynXis Retailing will empower Sun Siyam to personalize the booking journey, offering guests a curated selection of experiences, amenities, and wellness options during the reservation process. The chain offers an array of experiences including whale watching, fishing, elephant safaris, and sandbank dining. Through SynXis Retailing it will be able to enhance pre-stay planning for guests while enhancing revenue opportunities.

“This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Sun Siyam Resorts as we continue our commitment to providing exceptional experiences for our guests,” said Deepak Booneady – CEO at Sun Siyam Resorts. “With Sabre Hospitality’s comprehensive suite of solutions, including SynXis CRS and SynXis Retailing, we’re confident that we will not only optimize our room distribution strategy but also elevate the overall experience for our guests by offering personalized booking options.”
