360° Travel Planning & Virtual Tour Platform

Overview

The project focused on creating a digital travel planning experience that helps users discover destinations, explore places through immersive 360° virtual tours, and plan visits based on time, activities, budget, and preferences.

Yugasa developed Android and iOS applications supported by a web-based admin panel for managing destinations, 360° panoramic content, hotspots, budgets, users, and enquiries. The platform enables travelers to build place selections, evaluate budgets, and download a personalized PDF itinerary.

Business Challenge

The platform needed to combine destination discovery, immersive content, and practical trip planning into one simple mobile experience.

• Destination Discovery

  Travelers needed an intuitive way to search and explore places by country or state and quickly access relevant destination information.

• Immersive Place Exploration

  Users needed a richer way to understand destinations through images, activities, recommended time, and interactive 360° virtual tours.

• Budget-Based Planning

  Travel planning required users to compare selected places against available budgets and remove options that exceeded their spending preferences.

• Centralized Content Management

  Administrators needed control over destinations, 360° panoramic images, hotspots, budgets, users, and enquiries from one web platform.
