In the booking phase, tourists can make bookings of the desired attractions, accommodations, transportation, and so on. Afterwards, when tourists are traveling during the on-trip phase, tourists can look for recommendations for instagrammable photo spots or other hidden gem tours in the surrounding tourist areas.

The platform does not only facilitate tourists, but also tourism business managers, tourist attraction managers, culinary, accommodation, events, tour packages, tour guides, and others. Through this platform, tourism business digitization will be carried out for tourism business managers who are still operating manually and are not yet connected online .

The integrated travel and tourism platform is expected to improve tourists and tourism business managers' travel experience. In addition, this platform can increase the value of tourism foreign exchange, contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from the tourism sector, and increase the export value of creative economic products.
