Imagine booking your dream vacation—whether it’s a luxury resort or a Caribbean cruise—only to find yourself... disconnected. You're surrounded by people but feel like you're experiencing it all alone.

It’s a familiar problem. Post-pandemic, shared travel experiences are more desired than ever, yet the tools to facilitate meaningful connection during the trip still don’t exist. Hosted group trips are rigid. Facebook groups are unreliable. Most travel apps stop at planning, leaving people socially stranded once they arrive.

Tour Us Travel is changing that.

We’re building a platform that helps leisure travelers find community while away from home. Tour Us enables real-time guest clustering, localized social engagement, and in-destination group activation, creating personalized, connected travel experiences—and defensible intellectual property in the travel tech space.

Our app supports both B2C and B2B functionality:

• B2C: Travelers can meet and connect with others staying at the same resort or cruise, at the same time, enhancing the entire trip with real-time social opportunities.

• B2B: Resorts and cruise lines benefit from increased guest engagement, customer loyalty, and brand interaction—turning one-time guests into lifetime advocates.

The Market Opportunity is Massive

• B2C TAM: The global leisure travel market is over $5 trillion. If just 10% of travelers use mobile apps for social engagement, the B2C opportunity is $500 billion.

• B2B TAM: The global hospitality tech and CRM market is valued at $35–50 billion. Assuming 10% is directed toward guest engagement, the B2B opportunity is another $3.5–5 billion.

Total Addressable Market: ~$503.5–505 billion

This is a category that’s ripe for innovation, and Tour Us Travel is positioned to lead it.

Early Traction

We’ve already deployed Tour Us with paying customers, validating real-world demand. To focus on community growth and user behavior, we’ve temporarily made the app free while we optimize the product for long-term value and retention.

Strategic Use of Funds

Funding will be used strategically to position Tour Us for sustainable growth. Our priorities include:

• Refining the platform

Improving UI/UX and engagement is critical to attracting and retaining users.

• Building our technical team

Hiring key engineering talent is essential for product scalability and long-term innovation.

• Operations & marketing support

Funds will go toward data entry support, community management, and marketing to increase user acquisition and awareness.

• Responsibly addressing any existing operational debt

We’ll clean up the balance sheet in a way that supports momentum without compromising growth.

The Founder’s Vision

I’m a solo founder—an ambitious Norfolk State University graduate—with a vision to transform how social leisure travelers connect. I bring an outgoing personality and a deep firsthand understanding of the gap Tour Us Travel is filling.

From a young age, I noticed how disconnected travel could feel—especially for solo or socially inclined travelers. That insight has powered countless late nights, long hours, and an unshakable commitment to solving a real, relatable problem.

My mission is simple but bold:

To make Tour Us the go-to platform for connecting travelers worldwide—a recognized leader in social travel innovation.
