Air Niugini, Sabre hosting programme for agents

AIR Niugini and Sabre Corporation recently co-hosted Sabre CONNECT, an immersive programme for travel business owners and managers in Papua New Guinea.
It marks the first in-market activation to be organised for travel industry professionals since Air Niugini and Sabre announced their partnership last year.
More than 50 travel agents took part in the programme in Port Moresby.
The sessions began with presentations that looked at current trends, insights and key challenges facing the industry today.
Air Niugini chief executive Simon Foo said Sabre CONNECT was the ideal platform to help build strategic partnerships to address the challenges associated with a shifting travel industry.
“Air Niugini co-hosted Sabre CONNECT to bring together industry members. Travel professionals are at the very core of our success, and we know that they need a leading technology partner like Sabre CONNECT to support their business and growth,” Foo said.
Regional director South Pacific, Sabre Travel Networks Richard Morgan said it was essential that agents should become well-acquainted with Sabre’s solutions, especially if optimising their workflow was a priority.
“Sabre CONNECT offered agents the opportunity to engage with innovative platforms such as the content-rich new Sabre Red Workspace, the itinerary management tool TripCase, and many other Sabre solutions.
