Premium Mobile-First Travel Portal Creation

Project: Mobile-First Digital Travel Portal for MP Escapes – Master QR Code

Project Overview

MP Escapes is a Destination Management Company (DMC) specialising in Madhya Pradesh, India.

We participate in travel trade shows and exhibitions where we meet travel agents, tour operators, MICE planners and travellers.

We want to develop a premium, mobile-friendly digital travel portal that visitors can access by scanning one Master QR Code displayed at our exhibition stall.

The QR code should open a beautifully designed MP Escapes Home Screen, from which visitors can easily explore destinations, download travel resources and contact us.

This should feel like a premium digital travel experience, not a conventional website or PDF.

⸻

Main Objective

Create one permanent Master QR Code which opens the MP Escapes digital portal.

The portal should be:

* Mobile-first and responsive
* Fast loading
* Premium and visually attractive
* Extremely easy to navigate
* Suitable for international B2B travel professionals as well as travellers
* Easy for our team to update in the future
* Accessible without requiring an app download or login

The design should follow the MP Escapes brand identity, preferably using a premium Black + Gold + White visual language.

⸻

HOME SCREEN

The QR code should open directly to a Home Screen containing the MP Escapes logo and attractive Madhya Pradesh imagery.

Suggested menu:

LUXURY & EXPERIENCES

Include:

Each destination page should ideally contain:

* Short introduction
* Why visit
* Main attractions
* Recommended duration
* Best time to visit
* Connectivity
* Suggested experiences
* Suggested itinerary
* Nearby destinations
* Relevant videos
* Downloadable information

⸻

3. IMPORTANT TRAVEL INFORMATION

Create a section containing practical information for travellers and travel professionals.

Include:

5. TOURIST MAP OF MADHYA PRADESH

Create a dedicated interactive or downloadable Madhya Pradesh Tourist Map.

Preferred option:

An interactive map where visitors can select destinations and see basic information.

For example:

Kanha →
Wildlife | Recommended stay | Nearby destinations

Khajuraho →
Heritage | UNESCO | Suggested duration

Ujjain →
Spiritual | Mahakal | Suggested circuit

If an interactive map significantly increases cost, provide a high-quality downloadable tourist map as the minimum requirement.

⸻

IMPORTANT: ADMIN / CMS

This is a key requirement.

We should be able to update the portal ourselves after the project is completed.

For example, our team should be able to:

* Add new itineraries
* Replace PDFs
* Upload new videos
* Add photographs
* Add/edit destinations
* Change destination information
* Update contact details
* Update links
* Add new sections

We do NOT want to depend on the developer for every minor content change.

Please recommend an easy-to-use CMS/admin system.

⸻

MASTER QR CODE

The final system should provide ONE permanent Master QR Code.

The QR code should point to a permanent URL.

If we update the website/content later, the QR code should continue working without needing to be reprinted.

The QR should be suitable for:

* Exhibition stall
* Business cards
* Brochures
* Luggage tags
* Posters
* Printed marketing material

Please provide the QR code in high-resolution/vector format suitable for professional printing.

⸻

DESIGN DIRECTION

The design should feel:

* Premium
* Modern
* Elegant
* International
* Minimal
* Travel-focused
* Experiential

Avoid a generic government tourism website appearance.

We want something closer to the experience of a premium luxury travel brand.

Primary brand colours:

Black / Gold / White

Use large destination photography and clean typography.

The portal must look excellent on a smartphone because most visitors will access it through the QR code.

⸻
