Travel Package Site with Referrals

I plan to launch a responsive web platform where visitors can easily search curated travel packages, complete secure bookings on-site, and share their experiences through public ratings and written reviews. A built-in referral program should track every invite a registered user sends and automatically apply a discount to the referrer’s next purchase once the friend completes a booking.

Key workflow

• Guests browse or filter packages by destination, price, and date, then view rich itineraries with photos, inclusions, exclusions, and real-time availability.
• At checkout the system processes payments (card, PayPal, or a modular gateway you recommend) and generates e-tickets/invoices.
• Logged-in users manage profiles, booking history, saved wish-lists, and a unique referral link or code.
• Reviews post only from verified travelers, with a 1–5 star scale and optional comments.
• Automated customer support answers common questions through a chatbot or searchable knowledge base and escalates to live email/ticket support when needed.

Referral logic

1. Every registered user sees a personal referral link inside their dashboard.
2. When a new customer books through that link, the referrer’s wallet instantly records a preset discount percentage.
3. The discount is automatically suggested at the referrer’s next checkout and can accumulate if multiple friends book.

Acceptance criteria
