Tourkrub.co operates as an online travel marketplace based in Bangkok, Thailand, specializing in outbound tour packages for Thai travelers. Founded in 2016 by Jakapan Leeathiwat, Poomphat Techapoonpon, and Xinming Zhao, the company was established to address the complexity and lack of transparency in the offline tour package market. The founder's journey began after experiencing the difficulty of finding and comparing international tour packages for his own family. This personal pain point led to the creation of a platform that aggregates and digitizes tour information, transforming it from scattered PDF files into a searchable and filterable format.
The company serves a client base ranging from first-time jobbers and families to seniors who prefer the convenience of pre-arranged travel. Its business model centers on providing a platform for customers to discover, compare, and book international tours from a curated list of licensed and vetted tour operators. Revenue is generated primarily through commissions on tour packages sold through the platform. The platform's key feature is its technology that digitizes thousands of tour packages, allowing users to filter options by destination, price, and activities, thereby simplifying the booking process. This digital approach provides a significant advantage over traditional tour agencies.
Tourkrub has demonstrated significant traction since its inception, reporting a gross merchandise value of over THB 1 billion by late 2018. The company has secured a total of $5 million in funding over two rounds. A major Series B funding round in February 2020, led by King Power Click, the digital arm of King Power International Group, raised $5 million. Other notable investors include 500 Global (formerly 500 TukTuks), Taokaenoi, and the Government Savings Bank's SME Private Equity Trust Fund.
