The incredible growth of the internet has brought changes also to tourism. Clients have gained access to larger pool of providers. Increasing demand for travel services has caused the need for automation and reduction of manual labour in the process of the creation of touristic itineraries. While needs of larger companies have been satisfied, needs of small companies for such software remain unaddressed.
The goal of this thesis is to establish a software solution for the automation of touristic itinerary creation. We aim to find a solution with good complexity versus usability ratio, which would be accessible to smaller companies. Requirements for the solution came from the work processes used in such companies.
The solution we propose addresses the needs of small companies in the process of the creation of touristic itineraries. It presents the system composed of the server with data required for itinerary creation and clients that run an end user application. Server and clients are connected to the same local network. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is used as the server, and personal computers as its clients. The only requirement imposed on the clients is that they are able to run Java 8 runtime environment, which makes the solution platform independent.
