Reach the Australia and New Zealand holiday trade with ANZCRO
Not every valuable sales channel is a consumer website. ANZCRO reaches travellers through the holiday trade — packaged trips and itineraries built around Australia and New Zealand — which means your tour can end up inside someone's holiday plan rather than waiting to be discovered in a search box. For operators on either side of the Tasman, connecting ANZCRO through TicketingHub adds that trade demand to your calendar without adding a second system to manage.
Who is ANZCRO?
ANZCRO is a holiday specialist that has traversed the Australian and New Zealand travel market for more than 20 years. Its range covers the region's signature trips: self-drive holidays, skiing in world-class resorts, New Zealand's North Island and South Island touring, guided walks, and marine experiences out to the Great Barrier Reef.
What distinguishes ANZCRO from a typical consumer OTA is how the demand arrives. Holidays are assembled — flights, accommodation, touring, activities — so a booking that reaches you through ANZCRO is often part of a larger, higher-commitment trip. These guests plan further ahead and cancel less than impulse day-trip bookers.
Trade distribution also behaves differently from consumer OTA traffic in ways operators tend to appreciate: bookings are made by professionals who read the product details, groups are confirmed with proper lead times, and the relationship compounds — a channel that packages you into this season's itineraries usually comes back for the next one.
The mechanics: one calendar, every channel
TicketingHub connects ANZCRO through its channel manager, the same machinery that powers our other OTA connections. Your live availability is shared with the channel, and bookings made through it land in your TicketingHub dashboard automatically — on the same manifest as your direct, walk-up and website sales. Nobody re-types anything, and a departure can never be sold twice, because every channel is drawing from the same real-time count.
Rates and commission are agreed between you and ANZCRO — TicketingHub's channel manager handles distribution, not your commercial terms.
Because ANZCRO-style partners typically work on wholesale terms, TicketingHub's reseller model fits naturally: you set a net rate per reseller, they book against it, and your public pricing stays untouched. If the partner prefers to book manually rather than via an API channel, the same reseller record gives them a portal login against your live availability.
Where it fits your business
Ski-field and alpine operators
Ski holidays are booked as packages months out, and ANZCRO is strong in exactly that market. Lessons, lift-adjacent activities and alpine sightseeing can be sold into those packages while TicketingHub keeps winter capacity accurate across every channel — vital when weather reshuffles a week's schedule.
Operators on self-drive routes
Self-drive itineraries string together experiences along a route — a glowworm cave here, a wine tour there. If your product sits on one of Australia's or New Zealand's classic driving corridors, trade distribution puts you into itineraries guests have already committed to, often before they've left home.
Reef and marine experiences
Great Barrier Reef cruises and marine tours are bucket-list anchors for inbound holidays. Capacity on boats is fixed and safety-limited, which is why live availability matters: the channel manager guarantees a berth sold through ANZCRO is instantly deducted everywhere else you sell.
Connecting ANZCRO to TicketingHub
Setup follows the standard TicketingHub reseller flow:
- Add a wholesale rate to each product you want to distribute.
- Create a reseller record for ANZCRO under Resellers and assign the rate.
- Create a channel with the products they may sell, and share its access token.
- Verify with a test booking — a pending order should appear in Orders with the reseller name attached.
Contact your TicketingHub account manager or support to enable the channel and we'll confirm the mapping with ANZCRO's side.
Frequently asked questions
I'm a small operator — is trade distribution worth it?
Often especially so. Trade channels bring guests you have no other way to reach — package holidaymakers who never browse activity sites. Because the channel manager automates the admin, the extra channel costs you effort only once, at setup.
Do ANZCRO bookings arrive differently from OTA bookings?
No — they flow through the same channel-manager pipeline into your dashboard and manifest, tagged with the reseller name so your reporting shows exactly what the channel produces.
Can I offer ANZCRO different rates from my website?
Yes. Wholesale rates are set per reseller in TicketingHub, so the net rate ANZCRO works from is independent of your public pricing. The commercial terms themselves are between you and ANZCRO.
Does this only cover New Zealand products?
No — ANZCRO covers both Australia and New Zealand, from reef marine tours to South Island skiing. Operators in either country can use the channel.
What if I need to close availability at short notice?
Close it once in TicketingHub. The channel manager updates every connected channel — ANZCRO included — so nothing sells after you've pulled the departure.
Do I need to change anything on my website?
No. This is a distribution channel, not a website integration — your booking widget and direct sales continue exactly as they are. The connection lives between TicketingHub and the channel, and the only visible change is extra bookings appearing in your dashboard.
