🚀 Mobile Platform for travelers and influencers
With the growing demand for personalized travel experiences, we aimed to create a digital platform that seamlessly connects travelers with influencers who provide tailored recommendations based on real experiences. Our goal was to design an intuitive, engaging, and trustworthy user experience that enhances travel planning through influencer insights.
The Problem
Travelers often struggle with generic travel recommendations that fail to align with their personal interests. Traditional travel guides lack personalization, and online reviews can be unreliable or overwhelming. There is a gap in the market for a platform that enables travelers to receive curated travel advice from influencers whose tastes align with their preferences.
The Objective
To design a user-friendly, intuitive, and immersive platform that enhances travel planning through influencer-guided experiences while ensuring ease of exploration and booking.
