Technologies Used
The Problem
Tourists visiting Jamaica faced difficulties discovering and booking authentic tour experiences. Traditional booking methods involved multiple phone calls, unclear pricing, and no way to verify tour quality. Tour operators struggled with manual booking management, payment collection, and marketing their services. There was no centralized platform showcasing Jamaica's diverse tourism offerings with real-time availability.
The Solution
Created a tourism marketplace app using Flutter with GetX for reactive state management and dependency injection. Implemented Carousel Slider for immersive tour photo galleries showcasing activities. Integrated Google Maps API for tour locations, pickup points, and route visualization. Used Stripe Flutter SDK for secure international payment processing with multiple currencies. Implemented GetIt for service locator pattern, ensuring clean architecture. Built a Node.js backend with real-time inventory management for tour capacity. Created dynamic pricing engine supporting seasonal rates, group discounts, and early-bird offers.
