SABRE is attempting to get more agents connected to the Internet after highlighting the on-line disparity between the US and the UK.



Vice-president of international marketing Pam Craig said that only 20% of Sabre’s 900 agent partners in the UK currently had Internet access, whereas in the US the figure was around 80%.
