New Zealand’s Scenic Hotel Group Sees Bookings Growth after Switching to Sabre Hospitality Solutions

According to the team at Scenic Hotel Group, Sabre Hospitality Solutions was selected over other providers not only for their leading distribution technology, the SynXis CRS, but in particular for their experience in the area of increasing hotels' and chains’ exposure via electronic channels. Over the last several months Scenic Hotel Group has watched as GDS productivity across their group has steadily increased to its highest levels in three years.

“The Sabre Hospitality Solutions team has an excellent reputation for understanding how to get hotels noticed throughout electronic distribution channels,” said Piers Hutchings, IT manager for Scenic Hotel Group. “The results we’ve seen over the last few months give us great confidence in Sabre Hospitality as our partner. We have also enjoyed increased financial and operational efficiencies due to the integration work they’ve done on behalf of our properties.”

The Scenic Hotel Group is also taking advantage of property integration that seamlessly connects the SynXis CRS to the property management systems (PMS) being used at each hotel. This interface enables automated delivery of reservations and other critical property data which eliminates both the hours of labour and potentially costly errors involved in the manual process.

“We are pleased to welcome the Scenic Hotel Group to our growing portfolio of customers in the region,” commented Patrick Andres, vice president Asia Pacific for Sabre Hospitality Solutions. “Their early success is a result of their management team working together with our team of experts to determine a clear way to achieve their goals.”
