Technology Stack

Why each technology was selected.

Tailwind CSS

Selected for responsive listing cards, dashboards and clean marketplace UI.

Database Design

Important entities and relationships.

Agencies own packages and manage their public marketplace presence.

Packages belong to agencies and include category, itinerary, pricing direction and status data.

Bookings connect customers to packages and agency response workflows.

Payment proof and voucher records support operational confirmation.

Reviews connect customer feedback to agencies and marketplace trust signals.

Modules are grouped by business responsibility so the product remains understandable and easier to extend.

Data protection

Customer inquiry and booking details are handled inside authenticated workflows.

Tenant isolation

Agency data access is scoped so agencies do not manage another agency listing set.

Engineering Challenges

Problems that shaped the technical decisions.

Balancing public package discovery with agency-level management workflows.

Designing a booking flow that can support inquiry-first travel sales instead of only instant checkout.

Creating moderation structures that protect trust without slowing down legitimate agencies.
