In this paper, we design new operators of Genetic Algorithms (GA) to solve multi-group TSPs by searching the population of feasible solutions, exchanging information between genomes and keeping the relatively efficient genetic information. We give the principle and methods to solve multi-group TSP. A computer simulated experiment shows that the calculation complexity of GA is small and the solutions that are close to optimal can be found easily by GA.
