User Research
To start this project I needed more context of indididuals pain points when traveling, therefore I published a survey and conducted an interview
The survey revealed that of the respondents 80.6% travel in groups and 86% prioritized cost when building a travel itinerary. But I needed to know more, so I conducted an interview! This revealed that group travel dynamics, planning, and financial logistics were the most frustrating pain points for this individual.
The Problem
I want a centralized tool to easily manage group trip planning, including finding affordable accommodations, organizing links and details, and splitting shared expenses without awkwardness,
so that I can enjoy traveling with groups without the stress of managing all the organizational details and dealing with complex reimbursement issues.
