Sabre is introducing its global hackathon happening ‘Destination Hack’ to Asia.
The company has opened entries for the Asia Pacific hackathon, which takes place in Singapore from 14 to 16 October 2016.
Destination Hack brings together IT developers, entrepreneurs and the Asia Pacific startup community in a competition to code against-the-clock.
A prize of $10,000 is up for grabs for ‘Best New Technology Application’.
All entries will be judged on their ability to ‘Reinvent Travel’ which is the theme of the event.
It is being held in conjunction with this year’s WIT Conference which kicks off on October 17.
"We are pleased that Sabre is bringing its annual Destination Hack to Singapore and holding it in conjunction with our main conference. Singapore is fast becoming a hub for innovation and startups, and WIT is a timely platform for developers to come create and then network with leaders and influencers in the travel and technology sector," said Yeoh Siew Hoon, founder of WIT.
"This year’s WIT Conference theme is ‘Reimagine’ so it will be interesting to see how the participating developers reimagine the world of travel technology."
Developers get access to the Sabre portfolio of APIs and software development tools on the Sabre Dev Studio developer platform.
By constantly opening new channels for innovation, like this one, we can keep pushing the boundaries further on the way technology is adopted to support, drive and shape global travel," said Anupam Bokil, Vice president of technology for Sabre Travel Network Asia Pacific.
