Traveltrek: Effortless Travel Crafting and Management

Today's rapidly changing world has led travelers to seek customized experiences that align with their individual preferences and interests. With the continuous evolution of the digital realm, the expectations of users interacting with online platforms for travel planning and reservations are also evolving. To cater to the demand for personalized recommendations and enhance the user experience, we propose the incorporation of a Content-Based Filtering algorithm into our tour website. This algorithm, in conjunction with a recommender system for Travel and tourism management, enables users to book tours nationwide through a single dynamic website that provides comprehensive information on various destinations and tour specifics. Developed with PHP as the front end and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 as the back end, the website is compatible with all browsers. Programming languages such as HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and PHP were utilized in its creation. Administrators have the capability to add tour packages from selected travel agents and hotels by establishing a tour page. Subsequently, users can register and reserve each package, with confirmation managed by the admin in the booking management section. Users can easily view their confirmations in the “My Booking” page, making this platform user-friendly for all travelers seeking seamless bookings and detailed information. Furthermore, alongside implementing a Content-Based Filtering algorithm for personalized tour recommendations, we aim to promote the availability of accommo-dations in local rural areas. This endeavor not only presents travelers with cost-effective lodging choices but also contributes to the economic growth of the communities they visit.
