Tours4fun was founded in May 2006.[7][2][8] In December 2013, Chinese travel giant Ctrip purchased Tours4fun for more than $100 million in order to form the basis of its North American expansion.[9] In April 2014, Tours4fun started to offer cruises and in 2015, added the ability for customers to instantly book travel services.[10]

Pack for a Purpose

[edit]

In December 2015, the company partnered with the non-profit organization Pack for a Purpose to promote ethical and responsible travel and inform travelers of charity foundations near their destinations.[11]
