Sabre Corp. is investing in and partnering with AI travel platform BizTrip.AI to jointly develop "a suite of AI-powered corporate travel assistants," the companies announced.
With the strategic partnership, BizTrip.AI will tap Sabre's technology infrastructure, including the SabreMosaic Travel Marketplace for content, connections with more than 50,000 travel management companies globally and its Model Context Protocol server, which enables AI models to connect with external sources, according to Sabre. Those "provide the scalable foundation we need to serve thousands of TMCs globally, while our agentic AI delivers the personalization and automation that modern travelers and travel managers demand," BizTrip.AI co-founder and chief technology officer Scott Persinger said in a statement.
Sabre is also making a minority investment in BizTrip.AI as a part of the partnership, the amount of which was not disclosed.
With the partnership, Sabre said it will be able to bring to market corporate travel assistants that can handle complex booking flows via natural language, as well as manage itineraries and automate policies, for TMCs, corporate clients and suppliers. The investment "reflects our confidence in the transformative potential of agentic AI and our commitment to fostering innovation across the travel ecosystem," Sabre chief product officer Garry Wiseman said in a statement.
BizTrip.AI, whose co-founders also include Yapta co-founder Tom Romary and Google Brain co-founder Andrew Ng, launched last summer as a "personal concierge" technology designed to help travelers find booking options in a conversational-style leveraging historical data and travel preferences. It currently is in pilot mode—with Moderna and Colorado-based Cain Travel named among the users trialing the technology—and plans to be widely available in the second quarter of this year, the company said.
