Tourism Exchange New Zealand

The Tourism Exchange is an interesting concept. It is New Zealand’s new online, real-time marketplace for supplying and distributing tourism products and services. New Zealand operators can join the Tourism Exchange and begin providing a real-time feed of availability and pricing to resellers (buyers) both in the country and internationally.

Launched about a year ago, the Tourism Exchange has brought over 800 operators. They range from boutique accommodations to holiday parks, hotels, tour operators and attractions.

There is no cost to participate or to book operators via the Tourism Exchange. Resellers (buyers) you can set your distribution fee and your terms of payment.

The Tourism Exchange has a simple, secure online booking centre for traditional agents and a suite of white label options (and web services) for online distribution.
