Promote your bookable products online.

New Adventures give business the opportunity to promote their bookable products online. The aim is to attract new audiences to a range of activities, experiences, and services by increasing the levels of ‘bookable products’ available.

Products are promoted under the following themes on newadventures.org.uk

  • Active pursuits
  • Food and drink
  • Stunning escapes

Using TXGB booking software, adopted by VisitBritain, products are presented and bookable on our NewAdventures website and we have campaigns running throughout the year that your products could be featured in free of charge.

Partners are supported to integrate the required booking software on to their own systems or to run alongside existing systems. Our aim is to create experiences that tell the story of the people and place, giving visitors memorable travel adventures revealed over time that are inherently personal, engage the senses and make connections on an emotional level.

New audiences and markets

New Adventures has created an entirely new marketplace, increasing awareness of leisure experience brands in North East England reaching 16.9m people to date. It also opened the door for some New Adventures products to be featured in national campaigns run by Visit Britain, increasing their reach exponentially via the TXGB sales channel.

This website and supporting campaign provides a new route to market for businesses, putting them in front of new audiences and developing new partnerships and collaborations.

Developing new product and in particular bookable product allows us to highlight the offer of the region and addresses the challenge of committing consumers to booking, consumers who have booked in advance are significantly more likely to take their trip compared to those who make last minute decisions.

Testimonials

We understand the pivotal role that digital marketing plays in today's business landscape. Joining New Adventures and being part of the campaign has proven to be a game-changer for us, significantly broadening our reach to a diverse and engaged audience. “The platform seamlessly facilitates businesses in showcasing their bookable products and events, resulting in a tangible impact on both visibility and sales. The added benefit of increased ticket sales, particularly for our events and history tours, has made a noticeable difference to our bottom line.

Setting up bookable products on the TXGB platform is very simple, thanks to its easy and uncomplicated process. The New Adventures website has enabled our restaurant to reach a broader audience. Being featured alongside other bookable activities gives potential customers the freedom to create their own itinerary. This exposure has significantly contributed to an uptick in lunch bookings, especially during midweek periods, ultimately boosting our sales.” I highly recommend fellow businesses to join the New Adventures campaign. This collaboration has not only enhanced our customer engagement but has also proven to be a valuable tool for driving bookings. The increased visibility and accessibility provided by the platform are instrumental in attracting patrons who actively seek unique and memorable experiences.
