The Travel Planning System is a web-based application designed to help budget-conscious travelers organize their trips and manage their expenses efficiently. This platform, similar to travel apps like "Make My Trip," offers a unique feature: it provides personalized trip recommendations based on the user's budget and current location. The system calculates the minimum amount a traveler needs to carry before embarking on their journey, ensuring they are financially prepared. Additionally, in case of an emergency, users can access a special "Save Our Souls" (SOS) feature for immediate help. A core component of the application is the use of a greedy algorithm to determine the shortest and most cost-effective route from the user's starting point to their destination. Users can set specific preferences through the Budget Pre-Analysis Module, which considers various travel requirements such as accommodation, transportation, and sightseeing preferences. The app then calculates the optimal budget and suggests cost-effective travel options.
