Founded in 2011 by Jayesh Bagde and David Urmann, Touristlink is a social travel platform that connects travelers with a network of local tour guides, travel agents, and fellow travelers.
Jayesh Bagde, with a background in web development and a passion for travel, teamed up with David Urmann, an entrepreneur with experience in online businesses, to create a platform that would make travel more accessible and authentic. The founders identified a gap in the market for a service that could directly connect travelers with local expertise, bypassing traditional travel agencies.
The company operates on a marketplace business model, acting as an intermediary between travelers and local service providers. It generates revenue by taking a commission on bookings made through the platform. The platform serves a global market of independent travelers seeking personalized and unique travel experiences, as well as local travel businesses looking to reach a wider audience.
Touristlink's core product is its online platform, which allows users to browse and book a wide range of travel services, including tours, transportation, and accommodation. A key feature of the platform is its social component, which enables users to connect with each other, share travel plans, and read reviews and recommendations from other members. The platform also provides lists of attractions at each destination based on user rankings and reviews, helping travelers to discover new places and experiences.
