Travel software provider Sabre Corporation is collaborating with B2B leisure sales platform eRoam Travel Technology to launch an online B2B and B2C leisure travel solution for agencies, the companies said in a news release Tuesday (April 5).
With this partnership, eRoam becomes a gold-level developer in Sabre’s developer partner network, “which allows Sabre-connected agencies, tour operators and destination management companies to find and utilize partner solutions to support their specific business needs and requirements,” the release said.
The partnership sees eRoam expand Sabre’s partner ecosystem by adding an AI-enabled leisure travel platform to Sabre’s network, allowing agencies to create their own travel packages quickly. It also lets them identify other tours and activities to diversify and generate extra revenue while providing travelers with tools to create their own flights and packages.

“Through our partnership with Sabre, we are continuing to fulfill our mission of transforming the way that leisure travel is searched, booked and sold, thereby supporting agencies to increase business opportunities and provide essential end-to-end customer experiences,” said eRoam Chairman Martin Cowley. “Our next-generation leisure travel solution enables Sabre-connected agencies to create a compelling traveler experience, helping to position them for growth.”
Sabre’s developer partner network is an open network that allows for the intersection of supply and demand between Sabre developer partners and Sabre-connected agencies. Agencies can use it to connect with developer partners which support the specific needs of their businesses.
“Throughout this time of recovery, our focus has been on providing the solutions that will enable our customers to maximize business opportunities as travel rebounds,” said Marcos Pinedo, vice president, partner solutions for Sabre Travel Solutions. “By partnering with leading industry developers such as eRoam, we are able to address our customers’ needs, help them to tap into recovery growth and enhance the trust of travelers.”
