Sabre focuses on greener business travel

Sabre announced this week the launch of a new programme designed to identify hotels that are eco-certified for their respect for the environment.

The Sabre Eco-Certified Hotel Program covers more than 4,700 hotels worldwide, and is based on Travelocity's Green Hotel Directory, launched in 2009. GDS users will be able to identify hotels that meet environmental standards more effectively, to ensure that their business travel is eco-responsible. "Sabre is keenly aware of the economic, social and environmental responsibility of the travel industry, and we are committed to providing our customers with products and services that help promote these values in the long term through their business," says Greg Webb, President of Sabre Travel Network.
