There was specific functionality in the booking engine that we needed to make true differences for us and our guests, and Sabre’s design and development team was able to deliver on all of them. They really enhanced the design and user experience of the booking process along with some other usability items like the comparison shopping feature, sorting, and filtering that will truly make this a rich but simple user experience, thereby helping us increase sales from this online channel.Nathan Crisp, corporate director, revenue management for the Trump Hotel Collection
