TTG also publishes ttgbusiness, a monthly magazine for the business travel sector, ttgluxury, a new quarterly publication, and a range of supplements.

The paper's website, TTGlive.com, features news, photo galleries, online training courses and job vacancies.

A TTG campaign in 2007 to cut queues at UK airports was backed by The Sun newspaper[2].
