TravelEase Booking System

Project Overview

TravelEase is a boutique travel agency specializing in adventure tours and customized itineraries. Their booking process was entirely manual, relying on phone calls, emails, and spreadsheets. This led to frequent errors, double bookings, and inability to scale during peak seasons. They needed an automated booking system that could handle their complex tour packages while maintaining their personalized service approach.

The primary objectives for this project were:

• Automate the booking process to reduce manual work by 80%
• Eliminate booking errors and double bookings
• Enable dynamic packaging of tours with flights and accommodations
