Be part of our local tourism recovery activity. Be a key partner of Visit Plymouth. Be part of a sales channel that works for you. TXGB.
We’re driving local tourism recovery, by partnering with Tourism Exchange GB (TXGB).
This means the opportunity to work with us to move customers from ‘look’ to ‘book’ on Visit Plymouth. To drive sales for you, to be part of our marketing activity. And to benefit from a distribution channel that offers no connection fee, and just 10% commission on bookings placed.
What is TXGB?
TXGB is a digital marketplace, brought to you by VisitEngland. It offers tourism businesses the opportunity to diversify their distribution, and gives distributors the ability to choose from a wide range of bookable tourism product, to add to their programmes.
What is meant by diversifying my distribution?
It means that you, as a tourism business, can choose from a selection of distribution channels, domestically and internationally, all in one place. These range from niche operators, to OTAs, and – most importantly here – destination websites like ours’ visitplymouth.co.uk! It also allows you to make your own website bookable, if it isn’t already.
How is this helping local tourism recovery?
As businesses reopen post-Covid, we are investing in bringing visitors back to Plymouth. We want to make it as easy as possible to ‘know before you go’, by providing the latest visitor information on our website. We will be driving visitors to our website through our own activity, and that of VisitEngland. And we want it to be as easy as possible for visitors to look and then book.
By selling your product on Visit Plymouth you’re front and centre stage of our recovery campaign.

Understanding supplier connection
If your business already has a booking system, to which TXGB is connected, then the two will be linked automatically as part of the set up process.
If your tourism business does not have a booking system, or the one you use isn’t yet connected to TXGB, then connection is still possible via TX Load - the manual loading part of the system.
