Enable Decision-Making: Help users make informed travel choices through a community rating system and detailed reviews. Creat Social Interactions: Create a space for users to share their experiences, discuss travel tips, and connect with others who share similar interests in exploration. Encourage Trustworthy and Accurate Content: Build a large and wide reliable database of user feedback to ensure future users receive genuine insights into destinations from a large amount people, showing legitimacy.

Key Features:

Destination Listings:

Categories such as region, activity type, or travel budget. Essential details like descriptions, photos, costs, best seasons to visit, and nearby attractions.

Rating System:

Allow users to rate destinations using a numerical or star-based system(1-10. Display average ratings on each listing as analytics for the viewer.

This is a lot. You certainly have taken project seriously and considered many travel considerations and breakdowns. You could probably scale down. On this type of thing, you could socially plan a trip to a few places considering your many idea.

For instance pick top five destinations where you think people may want to go and consider many ideas and build a chat room and travel planner to ...

Paris Rome Shanghai Hyderabad New York

.91 mostly for vast brain storming, but unless you scale down it will not happen.
