With the rise of independent travel and exploration, many individuals are seeking personalised, yet affordable solutions to craft memorable journeys. Planning a trip involves meticulous details – from sightseeing to dining, accommodations to activities. Navigating these intricacies can be daunting, especially for those unfamiliar with a particular destination. Research indicates that travellers often turn to online resources for itinerary inspiration. However, finding comprehensive, organised, and customisable travel plans tailored to different countries and varying trip durations can be challenging. Many individuals turn to various blogs to compile a list of things to do but the problem is there is often so much information, travellers are stuck reading numerous blogs in order to create the ‘perfect itinerary’. Another limitation is that often these blogs are often ambiguous. For example, blogs will tell you to catch a train from one city to the next but will not specify the cost of the ticket or the exact train stop to depart from. ℹ️ Why this matters If we take a step back and look at the template industry in general we see many forms templates being sold. From notion, to resumes there is a huge market of people willing to pay for convenience. One example is [Katya Varbanova who made over $1.4 million]( selling Canva templates.
