Tourism Exchange USA operates on a simple commission model. Suppliers load gross rates. Suppliers then pay a 3.5% booking fee to the Exchange for each Exchange-originated online booking and commission to distributors as agreed when you opt into their channels.

Distributor commission is clearly displayed prior to opt-in and the 3.5% booking fee is only paid out when a Tourism Exchange USA-originated online booking
takes place, never before. There’s no cost to register.
