SynXis, fleuron de la tech hôtelière, quitte Sabre pour un fonds d’investissement

💸 Sabre Group, the world's leading GDS, sells its Hospitality Solutions division to investment firm TPG for $1.1 billion, in contrast to Amadeus's ongoing acquisitions. Sabre, which serves 500,000 travel agencies and large companies globally, divests its less profitable hotel sector to focus on its core airline ticketing and technology solutions. This sale was anticipated for years due to Sabre's reluctance to heavily invest in Hospitality Solutions, particularly as its flagship reservation engine, SynXis, lagged behind competitors without significant AI integration. Less than two years ago, Accor intended to transfer its TARS reservation system to Sabre SynXis but switched to Amadeus instead. This deal enables Sabre to reduce its debt and refocus on its strengths.
