Client: Easy Tours

Client Description: Easy Tours is a very popular travel agency in India, with some of the most enjoyable tour package tours across the country. One of the biggest reasons for their success and popularity is the variation in their tour packages that cater to all.

Client Requirement: Make an application to bring their entire business online, so as to increase their reach and valuation.

The application needs to be very user friendly; the user should not need to go through a complex and boring user manual to understand the features.

Being a travel site it needs to be aesthetically attractive.

Features to be included:

ü  There should be a basic home page containing a description of Easy Tour and what the application is offering.

ü  The user should be able to view only the home page, registration page and login page – which effectively mean that a user should not be able to go directly to the Tour search or booking details page without logging in.

ü  The Home page should have provisions to navigate to the Register Page (for new users) and LogIn page (for existing user).

ü  There should be provisioning for registration and only then Log-In should be allowed.

ü  After log in the user should be redirected to the Tour Search page where he can select package type, ideal vacation, destination and plan.
