OVERVIEW

OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE,

OUTCOMES

OUR PROJECT,

revolves around how to make planning a trip as simple for our user as possible, while as thoughtful as we could. Our users have liked so many restaurant and places, how could they plan a trip easily and fast with limited time and budget?

includes collected materials such as secondary research and first-hand interview to help us better approach the challenge.

We want an approachable, thoughtful, collaborative, planning tool that helps our user plan their own unique itinerary as detailed as they’d like.

STRATEGY

RESEARCH

SECONDARY RESEARCH

Planning an itinerary takes up to 7–14 days on average
It was an “inefficient to use” itinerary because the places were in chaos, not routed for efficient travel.
The biggest pain is not having a proper tool and having to use a combination of Word/Excel and Google Maps.

#1.Explore+Add to Wishlist

Explore, Planning, Wishlist, Account

Before planning a trip, users can apply a filter to search and get inspired on the explore page. This includes food, activity, accommodation, and sample trip plans.

During exploration, users could add interesting ideas to travel into their wishlist or directly add it to plan.

#2.Generate for you

The planning page allows two options of planning, "Plan It Yourself" and "Generate For You".

Generate For You: Make a plan for our users by analyzing data from their wishlist, and our suggestion based on their preference.

Plan It Yourself: This option allows for more customization.

We have the ability to generate up to 10 days trip. Both options allow edit for later.

There is flexibility in changing time, sequence, compare and switch planned items.

The plan comes with agenda, weather, map with optimal route, cost of the day.
