Overview (Vision & MVP)

Vision

Empower travelers and travel professionals to design, customize, and book end‑to‑end itineraries in minutes—backed by a lightweight, role‑based platform that scales from solo trips to group adventures.

Target Users

  • Travelers (end users)
  • Travel Agencies (must register & be approved by Admin)
  • Hotels (listed/managed by Admin initially)
  • Admin (software team; full control via Django admin)

Future roles: Vehicles, Guides, Tour Operators, etc.

Problem Statement

Most travel platforms force a one‑size‑fits‑all flow. Travelers want speedy, tailored itineraries; agencies need group‑booking tools; hotels want simple listing management; admins need oversight without building custom UIs.

Key Objectives

  1. Speed & Simplicity: From login to itinerary in under 2 minutes.
  2. Flexibility: Easy package customization for individuals or groups.
  3. Role‑Driven UX: Each user type sees only what they need.
  4. Admin First: Get up & running by leveraging Django admin.
