Sabre to Sunset Hotel RFP Service

Travel technology provider Sabre in July will stop supporting its hotel request-for-proposals service, the company announced Thursday.

Sabre will shutter its hotel RFP operations effective July 14, calling it in a statement on Sabre’s website “an aging technology that no longer supports our customers.” Sabre in the statement suggested customers contact other RFP tool suppliers, citing Lanyon—owned by Cvent—and Vindow.

Sabre in the statement suggested customers export any information they need ahead of the July 14 sunset date, as no historical data will be available afterward.

Sabre said the tool is “not core to our Sabre Hospitality business” and the company will now “have more resources to devote to other products,” on its website. Sabre’s RFP tool was launched in 2008.
