Touristlink.com, a social network for travelers, is now giving travel agents the ability to customize offers for members based on their social profiles. Touristlink members are benefitting as requests for travel services are now being met by offers which are specifically customized to their personal needs and tastes.

Touristlink is now providing its members a totally new way to find and book services online. Members can request any type of travel service from airport pickups to guided trips to day tours. Once a request is made it goes out to a growing network of travel agents and guides who can then make offers. Travel providers upon receiving the request can review the social profile of the member and make offers targeted directly to the tastes and preferences of the member.

The travel request feature offered by Touristlink.com connects members to a growing network of travel providers who include everything from city guides, to travel agencies to car rental companies. One of the founders commented in a recent interview “Why should a traveller talk to just one agent or provider when with Touristlink you can broadcast your travel needs across our entire network of providers. Touristlink puts all the information right at your fingertips making it easy to see which providers have given the best service to other members, how active they are in the community and who has the cheapest rates.” Touristlink lets members easily connect with providers but just as importantly it allows users to decide when and how much or how little contact they want from business owners by defining profile settings.

Touristlink individually screens each provider to validate identity and shows members the rank of each provider on the platform so it is easy to sort out those with the best reviews before selecting an offer. Touristlink reduces the risk of booking with travel providers by letting members rate and see reviews from other travelers. Travel providers like regular members on the website can create photo albums or group places together into lists to show off favorite destinations (Here is an example of the Best Forts in India made by one travel agency). The site founders suggest that “Providers who invest a lot of time on the site and in the community are often good bets for members to place orders with.”
