The company's strength is that we provide not only online travel destination services but also a travel assistant software. Tourgether focuses on serving tourists who would love to share information they have and also get information they need anytime and anywhere. What is more, Tourgether provides services through both website and mobile platform. So that it is easier for travelers to get and share information make changes to their schedule during their trip.

Our company offers a powerful social networking system.  Users can register Tourgether accounts using their MSN/Facebook accounts, and transfer their personal information to the mobile application. And contact friends using tourgether even if the other side is not tourgether user.

 Besides, our information search engine, as well as our social networking system, uses location-based technology, which allows mobile phones automatically searching for all the travel-related information based on user's location.  The location based social networking system enables users to see travelers who are also using this service in the neighborhood. Travelers can quickly contact them to share information, like recommending places to eat, joining a special event, or even renting a car together to save money.
