TouristLink

Touristlink aims to offer low cost group experiences to the rapidly growing market of young, adventurous, urban, budget conscious, professionals in Southeast Asia. Group experiences offer this rapidly growing class of travelers a low cost travel solution.

We will work with travel providers to create group experinces with set departures dates. These will be structured in the same fashion as existing daily deal sites so that if enough members buy the deal it will be on.   We will offer an additional 10% discount to all the members of the deal if the deal fills completely. This will give members an incentive to share the deal outside our network.  Members will additionally be able to propose a travel deal on a wish list (Reverse Buy Model) and if enough other members express interest we will source the deal.

These deals will be offered on a content rich social platform. Group travel experiences lend themselves to being shared and Touristlink members will be able to see the profiles of members going on any trip. Members can easily invite friends from other networks, share tips, experiences, discover new places and add photos and comments.  We will create mini-social circles so that trip participants can stay in touch before and long after the trip.
