Inspiration Behind the Project
The inspiration came from the growing need for streamlined online booking systems in the hospitality industry. With the digital era transforming how we interact with businesses, I envisioned a platform that would simplify booking processes for users and give hotel administrators a centralized system to manage their operations.
The core objectives were to:
- Simplify the user experience for room search and booking.
- Provide administrators with tools for managing bookings, availability, and inquiries.
- Ensure the system is secure, efficient, and scalable.
