DESTI Recreated

Your Travel Inspiration - Reviving DESTI

Inspiration

We miss travel. Don't we all. After we got to know each other where one of our members spoke up about their cancelled Europe trip the idea of travel implanted in our head. DESTI was the natural fit for a product which needed to be redone.

What it does

Scroll through travel experiences (video and photos) and add them to your itinerary. You can filter via location and types of travel experiences. Create groups for trips where everyone can add to the itinerary. The travel itinerary can be upvoted to see which plans are wanted by the most people.

How we built it

Our design lead spent the time learning how to use FIGMA and we tried to build a small MVP out of that. While we weren't able to fit in all the features, we believe we got the rough idea across.

Challenges we ran into

Collecting data through user interviews and surveys proved very hard to do at a mass level during the time limit. We had to iterate through our problem statement many times as we also realised that new competitors have come into the scene since DESTI died.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Managing to submit the project in 24 hours during an exam period for many of us. This in itself is something we are proud off.

What we learned

We learned the importance of defining a clear problem and ensuring it exists. How to use figma, how to ask open ended questions in the interview stage among many other pointers.

What's next for DESTI Recreated

We're excited about bringing the idea to life, no matter how well we do in the competition. From our interviews and surveys it was clear that their is an opportunity. How we tackle it in terms of features is something which we will iterate upon.
