Abstract-Many individuals embark on journeys to new destinations for a variety of reasons, taking into account factors such as the optimal travel route, safety, and accommodation comfort. This innovative system aims to assist users in discovering their perfect getaway by considering their travel timing and various influencing factors. It provides comprehensive support, helping users not only in identifying their next destination but also in seamlessly booking tickets and accommodations for their upcoming trip. This streamlined approach proves particularly beneficial for travelers, eliminating the need to navigate multiple systems daily and allowing for efficient task execution with the assistance of a robotic interface. The system takes into consideration the travel time, traveler interests, available transportation modes, and current travel trends. The objective is to develop a versatile system that not only aids in destination discovery but also facilitates the entire booking process. By simplifying the currently cumbersome organization process, the system aims to foster increased interest in travel among a wider audience. This system intends to empower tourists in planning their trips based on criteria such as budget, preferred tourist spots, or other personalized preferences. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive review of similar systems like TripAdvisor, Priceline, and Expedia Inc was conducted to analyze functionalities, strengths, and weaknesses. The overall process involves three key components: an input process that accepts user search criteria, a system process that utilizes a web crawler to match input with relevant websites, and an output process that displays information aligning with the user’s preferences. In essence, the system employs a chatbot to recommend destinations, suggest accommodations, and facilitate the booking of various modes of transportation, including buses, trains, and flights, thereby enhancing the overall travel planning experience for tourists.
