The SABRE Holdings Foundation inc

(For-profit organisation)

The Sabre Holdings Foundation is the humanitarian foundation SABRE HOLDINGS, an American travel technology company that serves the travel and tourism industry by providing software to travel agencies, corporations, travellers, airlines, hotels, car, rail, cruise and tour operators. The holding includes four businesses which employ approximately 10,000 people in 60 countries. By signing the Tourism Code of Conduct, Sabre Holdings, and so Sabre Holdings Foundation, has made an important step forward in human trafficking, especially in child protection against sexual exploitation.

Sabre is the first travel technology company and the eighth U.S.-based company to sign the Code that now has more than 1000 members worldwide. It joins many of its customers in fighting the sexual exploitation of children including Accor Group, Carlson Group, Delta Air Lines, Hilton Worldwide and Wyndham Worldwide.

As a member, Sabre will look at ways to condemn child trafficking and exploitation, including providing training to its 10,000 global employees so they are more informed about the issue. It will also explore ways to raise awareness about human trafficking with its airline, hotel, travel agency and corporate customers, as well as directly to travelers who use its online booking tools, Travelocity.com, lastminute.com and Zuji.com.
