Travel Leaders Network Innovates with Internova SNAP, Simplifying Sabre GDS for Travel Advisors

Travel Leaders Network recently introduced Internova SNAP, a collaborative venture with Sabre to offer a user-friendly version of Sabre Red Launchpad. This new tool, designed in partnership with Internova Travel Group, aims to streamline the booking process for travel advisors by providing a simplified interface within the Sabre Global Distribution System (GDS).

Internova SNAP is tailored to be more accessible and intuitive compared to Sabre Red 360, catering especially to advisors who are new to the industry or independent contractors seeking efficient retailing tools without the complexity of traditional GDS interfaces. This simplified platform enables advisors to effortlessly make bookings for flights, hotels, and car rentals through a graphical interface, minimizing the learning curve associated with more intricate GDS functionalities.

The program supports various booking options, including one-way, roundtrip, and multi-city flights for multiple passengers, with transparent display of commission details on air bookings. Internova SNAP also integrates features like price comparisons and supports NDC offers, content from low-cost carriers, and traditional fare data.

In addition to flight bookings, Internova SNAP offers comprehensive hotel content, including Select Hotels & Resorts, Worldwide Hotels & Resorts, and Curated Hotels & Resorts programs from Internova, along with luxury properties from Bonotel Exclusive Travel.

According to Travel Leaders Network, Internova SNAP not only expedites the onboarding process for new travel advisors but also serves as an ideal solution for independent contractors who may have been hesitant to utilize GDS systems previously.

Roger Block, President of TLN, highlighted the importance of modern retailing tools like Internova SNAP in overcoming industry challenges and empowering new talent to succeed without extensive training in complex GDS operations. This initiative underscores Travel Leaders Network’s commitment to supporting advisors with efficient technology solutions, ultimately enhancing client retention and fostering a competitive edge in the marketplace.
