Challenge
Create a web-based application that enhances the connected consumer’s travel experience in a unique way, utilizing at least one of the provided APIs that implement OpenTravel messaging. Your goal is to present an innovative solution that enhances the connected consumer experience for the travel industry.
Some examples include:
- A traveler is working with a specific budget, create a way for them to easily plan and book their travel while staying within their budget constraints.
- A new user experience that improves the decision-making efficiency for the travel consumer.
- Create a backend tool used by travel agencies or travel product suppliers to support the travel consumer.
Be creative and think outside the box. Happy hacking!
