How TXA was built and why
Tourism Exchange Australia was established in 2008 in partnership with ATDW (an organisation representing all Australian State and Federal Government Tourism Organisations) as the nation's open, commercially neutral booking exchange.
Selected through a global tender, TXA was built to give every Australian tourism supplier, regardless of category, size or booking system, fair access to ecommerce and online distribution. The same exchange technology now powers tourism platforms in the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States and Saudi Arabia. TXA remains Australia's own.
