SABRE'S ONLINE BUSINESS TRAVEL and meeting management system, GetThere, has added a hotel review option. Business travellers can now post their views on GetThere's hotel booking screen, together with an overall rating score. Reviews cover areas such as value for money, location, fitness facilities, and meeting and business centre facilities.
Sabre has also launched an automated hotel payment system with Conferma branded Virtual Payments for Hotel Settlement. The automated system uses a virtual credit card created at the time of booking which is faxed to the hotel to guarantee the reservation. The payment is then reconciled at check-out.
