a bay for travelers...
The problem holibay solves
Traveling to a strange city might be stressful. One does not always know all the famous or underrated spots Do you also face these problems?
1)Are you fed up of too many opinions of people around on street or be it your hotel manager when you ask what are the
tourist attractions here?
2)what is best to eat and in which part of the town?
3) Some unknown worthwhile places are always left unvisited while on vacation.
Say no more, holibay is a hybrid between travel magazine with all the information you need while in town and reservation giants such as OYO, Club Mahindra and Airbnb. While planning your vacation one can book the hotels, make reservations at a restaurant and know all the famous street names and local dishes to try. Visiting tourist spots are planned in such a way you will not miss any during your visit. It does make your travel easier.
It's basically like an Instagram page of a city showing a wholesome picture of a destination with a provision of making reservations and bookings like any normal app on the spot.
It's better than a magazine which carries information about the nook and corners of the city which the giants like OYO and ClubMahindra simply lack. They are just reservation mediators whereas holibay connects to the roots of the city and acts as a catalog.

Challenges we ran into
Lack of site responsiveness made us review the project all over again. Team coordination and communication gap were major shortcomings as team members were not able to complete deadlines, but we made it work. Teamwork can be hard sometimes.
