Sabre Corporation will be the first technology provider to offer travel
agents in the US, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands an automated
certification process for booking trips to, from, or within Cuba, the
company announced this week.

The Cuba Traveler Certification capability will enhance user experience
by alerting agents when they have booked an itinerary including air
travel to Cuba in order to access the required certification form,
transmit the necessary data to the transporting airlines, and email the
certification form to customers for their records.

"Sabre is leading by launching a capability that delivers personalized
traveler information, and assists agents by improving their workflow
when booking travel to Cuba for consumers in the world's major outbound
market for travel to the island," said Wade Jones, senior vice president
of marketing for Sabre Travel Network.

Sabre-connected agents in the US can now shop and book flights to Cuba
without requiring any additional contract amendments.
