Having worked with several GDS (Global Distribution System) APIs including Sabre, I can share some insights about using it for a hotel booking engine.

Check if Sabre is a good fit:

Pros: • Extensive hotel inventory worldwide • Real-time availability and rates • Reliable booking system • Industry-standard security

Cons: • Complex implementation • Expensive (requires contracts and certifications) • Steep learning curve • Heavy API response payloads

Alternative Solutions to Consider: 1. Direct Hotel APIs: ▪ Booking.com Connectivity APIs ▪ Expedia Partner Solutions (EPS) ▪ HotelBeds API 2. Aggregator APIs: ▪ RapidAPI Hotels ▪ Amadeus Hotel APIs
