4. Background
● One and a half year, a group of developers

7. E-Commerce vs Travel Booking
● E-commerce platform are an important starting
point but does not cover many of the elements
required in travel booking.
● With the flexibility of Spree we have been
adequate it without loosing the essence.
● Product for travel booking are service oriented.
● No need shipping or stock.

8. E-Commerce vs Travel Booking ...
● A service product can be related with the time,
seasons, and the price may change for the
person(s) that receive it. It is not the same a
hotel room for one person that a room for two
adults and a child.
● In other hand, we have used concepts that
have Spree like product relations, properties,
option types and values, calculators, taxons,
taxonomies, and others but using them in some
different ways.
