GOVERNMENT TOURISM ORGANISATION (GTO) PARTNERS

Understanding their critical role in bringing their destination into the digital age, many government tourism organisations (GTOs) have partnered with V³

Leading the way is the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW) that has launched a breakthrough initiative in digital marketing for the entire Australian tourism industry with the signing of an alliance with V³ delivering Australia’s first truly open tourism exchange.

ATDW has teamed with V³ to develop Tourism Exchange Australia (TXA) using V³’s unique Open Booking Exchange™ (OBX™) technology. TXA will link tourism providers with distributors and is an industry-wide initiative, covering accommodation, tours, attractions and events.

TXA will make available this state of the art technology to 24,000 tourism and travel companies Australia wide.

The Exchange will also provide tourism distributors with access to the tourism operators’ inventories, with real-time price and availability; and importantly the opportunity to book directly with the tourism provider online or use their own booking engine.

For local, state, national and international distributors, this initiative provides the ‘holy grail’ of access to Australian tourism operators through a common technology – which is open, inclusive and flexible enough to accommodate all distribution and booking models.

One of the key outcomes of this alliance is that, each State retains the ability to provide state-based data and connectivity to third party distributors within their own digital strategies.

DISTRIBUTION PARTNERS

V³ enables Product Providers to sell any or all of their products in ‘real-time’ on as many distribution channels as they choose.

Plus our unique Open Booking Exchange™ technology (OBX™) allows Providers and distributors to form their own, more profitable business relationship.

V³ makes everything simple. Providers get the distributors they want and distributors get the Providers they want.

Make no mistake, the V3Travel System offers the only total solution.

• Eliminates the need for you to allocate to multiple distributors or third party intermediaries every day.
• Complete control of your prices and commissions.
• Real-time availability on the web, eliminates double-bookings and customers not getting a true picture of availability.
• Payments go directly into your bank account when the distributor isn’t booking on account.
• A free booking webpage for your Product Providers.
• Powerful tools that help improve management of your business.

Your system will have real-time access to a growing base of local and national distributors that will offer your rooms, tours, attractions and events to the millions of customers they have already using their sites to make travel bookings.

Best of all, you control which Distributors you opt into and you set the price you want to sell for in one easy-to-use package.
