Supporting Tourism Operators
If you are an accommodation, tour, attraction or event provider listed with the ATDW, you not only have your listing exposed to thousands of consumers through ATDW's multiple online distributors; you also have the opportunity to sell your inventory online through TXA's booking platform.
Through one simple interface you will have the opportunity to view the Terms and Conditions of each ATDW distributor, including commissions and fees, before agreeing to participate (opt in). TXA integrates with various reservations and inventory systems (polling partners). Once an agreement is reached between you and the distributor, a "Book Now" button will be displayed next to your listing on their website.
Progressively TXA will be integrating with Central Reservation Systems, Destination Management Systems, Wholesale Systems, Property Management Systems and intermediaries. All integrated Systems will be detailed on the ATDW website and updated as they come on board.
If you are listed on ATDW and are using one of the Systems listed above you will be able to activate your ATDW listing with availability and booking capability.
