Last month, Sabre and Rehlat.com were part of E-Travel; an industry event dedicated to the online travel industry in the Middle East which brought regional leaders and experts together to discuss the trends and developments in online travel.<\/p>\n

Nabeel Sheikho, Sabre online business development manager, Middle East, Turkey and Cyprus talked about the importance of the online travel industry and embracing latest technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsumer needs are rapidly changing in the region, fueled by faster and more accessible technology. Online travel agencies have been quick to respond to this, using the latest Web Service and API technology to give travelers what they want.\u00a0 As this becomes the norm, more traditional travel agencies need to look at online and mobile strategies to stay competitive regionally and drive long-term, sustainable growth.<\/p>\n

The shift online is no longer just an emerging trend, it\u2019s happening now and it\u2019s happening fast,\u201d Nabeel said. \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
