Idea to plan a trip with zero effort
 
Hello fellow travelers,

i was just thinking about a site that would make my travel planning efforts much easier. What if you would only need to enter your budget + location and out of that it would generate you multiple trips that would match this budget.

e.g: I’m in Berlin and want to spend 500 Euro. Then the result could be Fly to s
Spain and stay in this airBnB Apartment in malaga for one week, while you are there you should book a guided walk through the canyons. Or take the train to Munich, book this nice hotel for three days and go to the oktoberfest.

I know that Kayak does this for flights, but my idea is a more universal solution that creates a complete package (Destination, time, means of transportation, where to stay, what to do).

What do you think about this? Do you know anything that can do this already?

Yeah it's called a travel agent.

Yes but this is a dying breed, as people are moving more and more to digital solutions :-) So i thought a website that is free to use could be nice.

Brick & mortar "dying breed", online alive and well.

Welcome to FlyerTalk, GreenT2000!

I think such a site could be useful, although difficult for the site owner to maintain. If it's your idea, go for it!

Vacations within Budget
 
A few months ago we asked ourselves as well as many other users the same question. Since then we have developed a beta site - Vacations within Budget (vacations.travelwits.com) - enter your budget, pick a theme and we search combinations of destination, hotel and transport (flight, car, parking). We have many plans to add more themes, more costs and more lodging types (e.g. bnb's, hostels). At some point we may include tours and activities.

It's still beta - we are constantly working on bug fixes and features. We wanted to roll it out early and get as much feedback as possible. So, please, let us know your feedback!

BA.com already does this with BA Holidays. Many other airline websites do this as well.
