2. PROBLEM STATEMENT

The current travel planning process is often time-consuming, overwhelming, and

lacks personalization, leading to difficulties for travelers in efficiently organizing
their trips. Travelers face the following challenges:

1. Information Overload: With an abundance of travel resources available

online, travelers struggle to find reliable and up-to-date information about
destinations, attractions, accommodations, and activities.

2. Lack of Personalization: Many travel platforms provide generic

recommendations that do not consider individual preferences, interests,
and budgets, resulting in an unsatisfying and generic travel experience.

3. Booking Hassles: Travelers must navigate through multiple websites to

book flights, hotels, tours, and other travel essentials, leading to a
fragmented and time-consuming booking process.

4. Safety and Weather Concerns: Travelers often face uncertainties related

to safety, weather conditions, and potential disruptions at their chosen
destinations.

To address these issues and improve the overall travel planning experience, we’ve
developed the ‘Hamro Tour’ website which will serve as a comprehensive and
user-friendly platform that offers personalized travel schedules, a vast repository
of travel information, seamless booking integration, collaboration features, and
authentic user reviews. By addressing above pain points, the ‘Hamro Tour’
website aims to revolutionize the way travelers plan and experience their journeys,
making travel planning efficient, enjoyable, and hassle-free.

interests, and unique travel needs.

4. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

4.1 Scope:

‘Hamro Tour’ is a user-friendly travel planning website designed to assist enables

users to efficiently organize their plans, discover popular destinations, and find the
best routes and attractions to visit creating unforgettable experiences. With a
simple and intuitive interface, ‘Hamro Tour’ scopes to ensure users plan their

5. METHODOLOGY

5.1. Requirement Identification

i) Study of existing system: (Tizani, 1992) Trip Planning Systems, TPSs are
integrated systems which can provide information and guidance to assist travelers
with all aspects of travel. This can include assisting in pre-trip planning using all
modes, such as private vehicles, buses, trains and airborne travel. It can
incorporate a route guidance system for private cars, a Parking Guidance Systems,
a Public-transport information system for buses and trains, and a general transport
and tourist information. A TPS should coordinate the use of all modes and give
guidance on multi-modal travel. It should advice users on making optimal
journeys which satisfy their preferences and constraints, e.g. specific departure
times or a specific arrival times.

Current information provision is considered deficient in many respects. Travelers

are often unaware of alternatives routes or services and many are unable to
acquire adequate information from one source especially for multi-modal
journeys. In addition, there is a lack of providing real time information where it is
required (bus stops and train stations) and of effective interaction of static and real
time information. Most of the projects, which integrate static and dynamic data,
are single mode systems. Therefore there is a need for an integrated trip planning
system which can inform and guide on all aspects of transport. Trip planning
systems can provide assistance in trip planning (before and during the journey)
using one or a number of modes of travel, taking into account traveler’s
preferences and constraints, and effectively integrating static and dynamic data. 16
TPSs could adversely affect traffic demand as people who become aware of new
opportunities might be encouraged to make more journeys. It could also affect
traveler’s choice as a result of over-saturation of information, over-reaction to
predictive information, and concentration on the same 'best' routes. However, it
can be argued, based on existing evidence, that such a system can benefit
traveler’s, and transport operators as well as the public sector responsible for
executing transport policies. Travelers can benefit by obtaining adequate
information to help them in making optimal decisions and reducing uncertainty

4
and stress associated with travel. Public transport operators can benefit by making
their services known to customers, leading to increased patronage. Public
transport authorities can use the supply of information to execute their transport
policies and exercise more control over traffic management.

A trip planning system should provide assistance in the following areas. - Pre-trip
planning for travelers. Trip planning in any mode of travel, including multi-modal
journeys. The modes of travel include: roads, public transport, freight transport,
air transport, and local and international transport. - Route selection and route
guidance in public and private transport Recommending optimal routes taking into
account real time and predictive data about travel conditions, for example:
incidents, changing traffic situations, and anticipated journey duration. Optimal
route must be based on a trip efficiency criteria which should be defined taking
into account user’s bias and network efficiency. - Time of travel. This includes
satisfying constraints such as arrival time, route or mode preference, and selecting
the optimal time to start the journey taking into account travel conditions. It also
includes selecting the day of travel in order to take into account situations at
destinations, e.g. events, booking accommodation, and weather. - Selection of
suitable destination. The recommendation of destination given the purpose of the
journey. - General travel information. This can include: location of service
facilities, filling stations, hotels, interesting sites, etc.
