Indonesia's DSL Travel Signs Expanded Agreement with Sabre

(20/04/23)  DSL Travel, one of Indonesia’s largest and fastest growing travel agencies, has signed an expanded agreement with Sabre.

The Jakarta-based company will continue to be part of Sabre’s extensive Global Distribution System (GDS), and is targeting wider growth in the highly lucrative Indonesian travel market through Sabre’s intuitive agency workflows.

DSL Travel will continue to access Sabre’s marketplace of over 400 airlines, 750,000 hotel properties, and hundreds of tour operators, rail, car, and cruise providers, providing opportunities to create and sell personalized packages for individual, and groups of travellers.

Through Sabre’s browser-based Sabre Red Web workspace, DSL will also give its expanding network of sub-agencies the ability to conduct business anytime and anywhere, while ticket issuance is centrally managed and controlled by the wholesaler.

“As Indonesia renews its focus on quality tourism, it is vital that we have the right technology to create significant growth opportunities for our own business, for our agency partners, and across the wider Indonesian travel ecosystem,” said Doni Usman, Director and Owner of DSL Travel. “Through Sabre’s GDS, we can ensure we have seamless access to the industry-leading content needed to create the experiences our travellers want, while using the Sabre Red Web agency workspace to exponentially expand our own network of travel agencies.”

Founded a decade ago, DSL Travel offers comprehensive travel services, including international and domestic airline ticketing and hotel reservations, custom-made corporate and leisure tour packages, and airport transfers, as well as specialising in Umrah and Hajj pilgrimage packages.

“Our renewed and enriched agreement with DSL Travel is a testament to their confidence in Sabre, our technology, and our expertise, to support them in their ambitious growth plans,” said Brett Thorstad, Vice President, Sabre Travel Solutions, Agency Sales, Asia Pacific. “We’re excited to continue to be part of DSL’s transformative journey as they enter their second decade, and we look forward to enabling them to grow their business, create enhanced traveller experiences, and expand their reach within, and outside of, Indonesia, through our advanced technology and the Sabre marketplace.”
