TravelEase: A Smart Web-Based Travel Planning and Booking System

Travel planning often becomes difficult because users need to use different applications for navigation, itinerary planning, and travel information. Most existing travel applications provide limited features and do not support complete trip planning in one place. To solve this problem, this paper presents TravelEase, a travel planning system developed for web and mobile platforms. The system allows users to make travel arrangements such as hotel booking, transportation, and selecting tourist attractions on a single platform. Studies on online tourism systems discuss a lot about booking service systems at hotel reservations, transportation reservations, or booking tour tickets. However, most of these studies were carried out only on individual processes and were not integrated. This study built a web service for travel package booking that allows travelers to book transportation, hotels, and travel tickets in one transaction. The system allows users to find routes, create travel itineraries, and receive assistance through chatbot and voice features. TravelEase is designed using modern web and mobile technologies to provide easy access and better user experience. The system helps users save time and reduces the effort required for planning trips by combining important travel features into a single platform.
