at an unbeatable price.
10. CUSTOMER
NEEDS
A wanderer wants to be able to add flight, hotel accommodation,
rental car and things to do and purchase at a single point instead of
booking flights through google flights, hotels through hotels.com,
rental cars in priceline and things to do in tripadvisor.
A traveler wants to inspire and share her knowledge to others. She
wants to innovate travel experience.
A dreamer wants to enter the dates of a long weekend and a
budget he is willing to spending and wants tripadvisor to advise him
on a trip and be able to book it with a click
