Sensible’s Weather Guarantee, embedded within the SynXis platform, is said to help hotels boost booking conversions, reduce cancellations, and enhance guest satisfaction by ensuring a positive experience, regardless of weather disruptions. 

By offering a Weather Guarantee at the point of booking, Sabre and Sensible Weather believe its "elevating the guest journey".

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Sabre Hospitality to bring Weather Guarantees to their extensive network of hotels,” said Nick Cavanaugh, PhD, CEO of Sensible Weather.

“We know weather is among the top concerns for travelers, and our mission is to give them peace of mind when booking their hotel stays online. Consumers feel more confident booking when they have the protection of a Weather Guarantee available to them.

"Sensible's integration into the SynXis platform offers a seamless way for hotels to potentially increase booking conversion at checkout, in addition to enhancing guest satisfaction when unexpected weather impacts their trip," he said.
