The Tour Leader App is designed for travel agents who conduct group tours. The target user of the app is the Tour Leaders and the travel company. The existing system for managing tours was found to have many flaws, as communicated through interviews with actual users such as Tour Leaders and Travel Agents. The app aims to address these issues by providing a digital workflow for the Tour Leader, streamlining the tour process and reducing the need for a huge paper file.

Story Time
For this project, I received a FAT PAPER FILE, which contained entire documentation of
one trip. I went through each and every paper from that file and roughly started mapping
out events where loss of one paper could have cost 1000 euros or dollars to company.
Entire itinerary, meal plan, add-on services, rooms, food preferences, coupons and lot
more was documented in that file.
After trying to empathize with and understand the user, I focused on mapping out the
features the app would have.
I created user flows for satisfying user needs and goals.
