Grow your sales through the Tourism Exchange

When you start using Eviivo Frontdesk, you are automatically connected to New Zealand’s central tourism marketplace, the Tourism Exchange.

The Tourism Exchange is the new, live, online marketplace where international and domestic distributors can buy New Zealand accommodation and tourism services. It’s a business-to business exchange where you sell to travel and tourism wholesalers, agents and distributors such as booking websites.

Sell to more people

You’ll get sales directly from your own website, of course. But the Tourism Exchange puts you in touch with a whole lot more customers through agents, wholesalers and distributors. Reach new distributors you’ve never had access to before.

Deal with companies you choose

On the Tourism Exchange, you choose which distributors you want to do business with. It’s up to you to accept – or decline – their terms, conditions and commissions. You stay in complete control.

Set your own prices

You can set a standard price for every one of your rooms. But you can also adjust your prices for different distributors - wholesalers, retailers, tour operators, even last minute distributors. Eviivo Frontdesk also allows you to set promotional pricing for a special offer that you have negotiated with a specific group of distributors.

Live bookings

The Tourism Exchange works in real-time, so as soon as a booking is made by a distributor, your inventory is automatically updated across the Tourism Exchange. At the same time, it is updated in your Eviivo Frontdesk reservation management system. You’ll never have another double booking again. And no lost sales while requests go unconfirmed.

No need to allocate

Because the Tourism Exchange – and your Eviivo Frontdesk – work in real-time, all booked rooms are blocked off automatically. And all available rooms are up for sale all the time. That means you don’t need to provide allocations of rooms to different distributors if you choose. All your available rooms can be available to all distributors. All the time.

Reduce administration costs and time

Save hours every day. No more time managing allocations, hand backs and booking queues. On the Tourism Exchange, it’s all automatic. And no more time and money wasted on finding new distributors. They are there for you to select from - all on the Tourism Exchange.

Improve your cashflow

The Tourism Exchange allows you to deal with distributors directly. So if you agree to "Direct Supplier" terms with a distributor, payment on bookings goes directly into your bank account at the time of booking. Commissions and fees are deducted automatically at the end of the month. It’s all taken care of for you.

Add extra sales

Do you ever recommend local tours, activities or places to stay? Now you can earn commission. Your recommended suppliers simply provide live inventory. You can then become their distributor on the Tourism Exchange. They can do the same for you of course.

No start up costs

There is no start up cost to be on the Tourism Exchange. Only a small fee for each successful booking that comes through the Tourism Exchange. And there’s no fixed term contract. If you want to leave the Tourism Exchange at any time, you can. But why would you? You’ll have so many more opportunities for more sales, and more profit, available to you through the Tourism Exchange.
