Mavic for years offered their T series. Suitable for both tandems and touring. These rims had slightly wider widths, offered in 36 (and even 48) spoke holes, had fairly shallow heights but with their widths still had serious box section area. I've used various versions on a few single and two up bikes with pleasing results.
"Touring" has evolved over the years, just like sporting "performance" bikes have. But the basics still count. More spokes, more tire width capacity. Rim brake and (IMO) machined brake tracks, double walled (box), Presta valve hole (can be opened to SV), not aero depth/height. Andy
