History
Established in May 2006 by Allen Wang and Kevin Du, Tours4fun was purchased by the Chinese travel corporation Ctrip in December 2013 for a sum exceeding $100 million, facilitating Ctrip's expansion into the North American market. The service portfolio was broadened in April 2014 to incorporate cruise options, followed by the launch of immediate booking functionality for travel products in 2015.
Pack for a Purpose
In December 2015, Tours4fun formed a collaboration with the charitable organization Pack for a Purpose to encourage responsible tourism and highlight local nonprofit initiatives at travelers’ destinations.
