Abstract / Introduction:

The Local Trip Organizer is a web-based travel management system that helps users plan and manage trips within their country. Users can create travel plans, select cities, build itineraries, track expenses, and get recommendations for attractions, restaurants, and accommodations. The platform will also provide estimated costs, allow expense splitting among travelers, and offer Google Maps-based route planning.
