The goal is to save the time and effort of the users by reducing their job of carrying out the lengthy and mundane task of making plans prior to going for a trip.

Travelling is one of the exciting things to do. In fact, it is amongst the best approaches to learn and experience new things. However, planning for one can be an intimidating effort. One needs to have a comprehensive knowledge about the destination they seek to visit, in order to get the most out of it. A poor planning may result in making the trip traumatic rather than entertaining.

The true objective of the project isn't simply to build up a working application, yet also to study the impact of technology in organizing a trip.
