ABSTRACT

Today, there are so many tourism applications such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Expedia that allow the booking of accommodation, flights, and activities; however, these platforms often lack the personalization in user experience and seamless integration of services. Many of these focus on either lodging or travel arrangement, thus not filling the gap in holistic travel planning. Our proposed tourism app is meant to enhance user experience through the provision of a single platform that allows users to book destinations, hotels, transportation, and events all in one place with an emphasis on personalization. The app will be flexible for both individuals and families, thus catering to different travel needs. Unlike the existing apps, we shall implement an easy interface which will simplify the booking process and integrate a robust user profile management system for storage of preference and previous bookings. Additionally, our app shall include a secure payment gateway that supports various payment methods to enable fluid transaction experience. Focusing on user-centric design, personalized recommendations, and comprehensive service integration, our app will be the most attractive in the competitive tourism market and provide a more cohesive and enjoyable travel planning experience for users.
