Gloria Hotel Dubai is the first hotel in the United Arab Emirates to apply the power of the hospitality-specific website solution WebExpress by Sabre Hospitality Solutions.

The four-star Gloria Hotel benefits from an end-to-end ecommerce platform that includes a complete website, booking engine and search engine optimization (SEO) solution bundle. The increase of direct online conversions and a growing occupancy rate of the 1,010 Gloria Hotel Dubai suites and apartments driven by digital marketing and online bookings are at the center of this agreement. WebExpress is an integral part of the full-service internet marketing solutions offered by Sabre Hospitality Solutions.

Sabre Hospitality offers a full range of internet marketing services that have been designed for the hospitality industry and are powered by a team of hotel marketing experts. The company has seen great success working with leading hotel brands in the region, and plans to continue building its presence in the Middle East.

Recently, Sabre Hospitality expanded its local support teams globally to offer both customized and turnkey solutions in EMEA and Asia Pacific.  WebExpress is available to hotels throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia and increases search engine visibility, web traffic and direct reservations, all within a 60 day turnaround. The internet marketing services are a complement to Sabre Hospitality’s other global distribution and mobile solutions including the SynXis Central Reservation System and Guest Connect website booking engine.

“Even today, hotel websites are created according to design aspects without much attention for sales conversions. The tight connection of website content and services offered by the hotel’s booking engine is most important to drive online conversions and eCommerce,” comments Monique Jaspers-Wijn, vice president business development EMEA, Sabre Hospitality Solutions.

“With our total hotel website solution in place, coupled with our newly expanded EMEA support team, we help our customers acquire, engage, retain and convert business at every digital touch point.” Added Monique.
