Joystar Signs Agreement With Sabre's Travel Network's Jurni Network
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Joystar, Inc.,
(OTC:JYSR) (BULLETIN BOARD: JYSR) , In a strategic move to further
enhance the Company's host agency model, Joystar announced today it
has signed an agreement with Sabre Travel Network's consortium,
Jurni Network. Jurni Network will provide Joystar and its growing
sales force of home-based travel agents access to the industry's
most sophisticated market intelligence, combined with a highly
targeted marketing program. Joystar's agents will gain access to a
wide range of leisure travel products sourced from Travelocity,
Site59 and Sabre Exclusives merchant hotels, in addition to
negotiated products from numerous preferred suppliers. "As a member
of the Jurni consortium, we will benefit from the power of Sabre
Holdings, the world's largest travel commerce company, to negotiate
deals and higher margins. They distribute more than $80 billion in
travel products each year providing our growing company advantages
and insight unavailable from any other partner in the industry,"
said William Alverson, Joystar CEO. Both exclusive deals and unique
market intelligence database are integrated into a single,
easy-to-use booking tool that is designed to interface with all
four GDSs and popular booking interfaces. Alverson added, "For our
growing network of experienced home-based travel agents, there's
almost nothing new to learn. They don't even have to change their
GDS affiliation. When they log into the Network, they can choose
which GDS they would prefer to use and continue to book as normal."
Joystar agents can easily book any inventory from any supplier.
They are automatically guided to the inventory from preferred
suppliers that generate the highest yield. "Similar to the way
Joystar isn't just a travel agency -- it's an entirely new model
for travel distribution; Jurni Network isn't just a new consortium
-- it's an entirely new kind of consortium," he said. About
