Sabre Holdings Corp., a technology provider for the travel
industry, Wednesday added an XML Web development tool to
its Sabre eVoya eStorefront suite, intended to help travel agencies bring
their services online.
Sabre's new XML Power Tool Kit allows Web designers to access the company's
global distribution system (GDS) without resorting to
specialized Sabre programming knowledge.
"It continues to be our goal to make the Sabre system available globally to
all who can benefit from our content," said Greg Webb,
Sabre senior vice president for Product Development. "Not only is Sabre GDS
the most robust in the world, but now it is the most
universally accessed system as well. Communicating using XML has literally
opened the door wider for developers, Web designers and
agents alike to take full advantage of the travel information we track,
monitor and update 24/7 at Sabre."

market is the top priority. With the XML Power Tool Kit, companies can
literally create, in a matter of days, a Web site with access
to the richest reservoir of airline, hotel and rental car booking
information available in the industry today.
