It includes news, destination reports and careers advice for the travel and tourism industries. Sectors covered include travel agents, tour operators, airlines, cruise companies, hotels, tourist boards, rail travel, ferry lines, business travel and web-based operators.

The paper has an audited circulation of 17,099[2] and is distributed via subscription and controlled circulation to high street travel agents, homeworker agents, call centres, tour operators and other travel organisations. It is published on Thursdays.

TTG also publishes ttgluxury, a quarterly publication for the luxury travel sector, and bespoke supplements as well as running several events including the TTG Travel Awards, TTG Top 50 Travel Agencies, TTG On Tour roadshows, TTG LGBT travel events and ttgluxury seminars. Since 2012 TTG has also produced the WTM show dailies, for London's World Travel Market, magazines that are distributed on each day of WTM London to over 50,000 attendees.

The paper's website includes news, competitions, photo galleries and job vacancies.
