Distributors Overview

Why TXA is revolutionising Australian tourism marketing

TXA provides direct connection to the Supplier’s booking system

The key difference between The Exchange and earlier models and technologies is that we offer genuine dynamic two-way ‘direct connection’ to the booking system of the Supplier.

This allows Distributors easy access to comprehensive data from a portfolio of accommodation, tours, ticketed events and attraction businesses with the most sophisticated and easy-to-use management tools.

TXA is Australia's only national 'all tourism products' booking exchange

TXA’s helps GTOs and DMOs to facilitate a more cost effective way for digital Distribution channels to access and sell ecommerce ready Suppliers’ inventory.

TXA enables access to comprehensive and valuable information through one set of services

Unlike traditional ‘bed banks’, ‘inventory pools’ or ‘affiliate’ models that only supply rates and/or availability, with TXA you choose what you want to use.

TXA can provide;

  • Business and product description (ATDW or Supplier self-authored).
  • Live rates.
  • Live availability.
  • Multiple points of booking.
  • Ability to create ‘campaign’ pricing.
  • Full, detailed reporting.

TXA gives you The Right Tools

To cost-effectively use the data in the Exchange, you can choose:

  • Booking Pages for your listed Suppliers.
  • Search and Book Pages to search across all Suppliers for live availability and pricing.
  • eXchange Booking API to keep the consumer completely within your system right through to booking completion.
  • LaunchPad.

Why more Distributors are connecting to TXA:

  • Single connection to the Exchange delivers access to the entire Supplier base, with live data direct from multiple booking systems.
  • Ability to control which Suppliers sell through your channel.
  • Free access to a range of management reports for all transactions.
  • Reduced costs – transactions can be performed directly between the consumer and the Supplier. No need to carry the cost and liability of processing, collecting and disbursing the booking funds. TXA also provides the traditional ‘On Account’ agency type approach. It’s your choice.
  • TXA gives you the ability to have price comparison pages.
  • TXA allows you to create price based retail campaigns.
