Tourism Exchange Great Britain (TXGB)

TXGB is a central digital marketplace. It offers tourism businesses the opportunity to diversify their distribution, and gives distributors the ability to choose from a wide range of bookable tourism products to add to their programmes.

TXGB allows suppliers to become bookable on a wide range of distribution channels (including niche operators, destinations and OTAs such as Go North Wales & Visit Wales). There is no connection charge, you don’t have to have online bookings on your own websites, and you can manage your distribution all in one place. You simply pay a 2.5% booking fee – only on bookings generated – plus commission of the chosen distributor.

Using the Tourism Exchange can; 

  • provide an easy way of working with more channels without increasing admin, reaching more customers, growing sales, reduce dependency on a single sales channel and reduce commission costs
  • provide access to more distribution channels and to make by-products bookable in national and regional destination marketing campaigns. 

TXGB offers integrations with a wide array of booking systems and PMSs, and the list is always growing. You can see which systems currently integrate by checking their Technology Businesses Partners on the TXGB website.

If you don’t use a booking system currently TXGB has a built in tool called TXLoad, a simple booking management system to load product inventory and manage your diary – TXLoad is completely free to sign up for, with no fees other than the standard 2.5% (+ VAT) TXGB booking fee.  You can use TXLoad as a cost-free alternative for adding bookability to your own website , taking direct bookings; but you can also integrate bookability into your listing on Go North Wales.

You can connect to TXGB in four simple steps.
