Smart Travel Planner: A mashup of travel-related web services

The Smart Travel Planner is a web-based intelligent system for facilitating the travel planning process, which is implemented as a mashup of several travel-related services´ APIs. Unlike other similar applications which essentially work as calendaring programs, our system is unique in that it integrates the information and functions needed for travel planning in their entirety within a single piece of software providing such features as checking hotel availability and calculating optimum routes between user-specified locations at various travel destinations, and offering suggestions for sightseeing, all the while making sure to take into consideration the user-specified needs for particular meeting days, times and locations and personal preferences for dining, relaxation and sleep. Furthermore, these services are not limited to a particular city but are offered for any city around the world for which such information exists within the databases of the services included in the mashup.
