The Problem

International travelers seeking authentic local experiences struggled to discover curated themed activities, coordinate complex local arrangements, and customize travel experiences matching their specific interests and budgets without extensive research and planning efforts.

The Challenge

Developing a curated travel platform required implementing customized Magento functionality handling complex search criteria across multiple experience themes, creating responsive designs serving both mobile and web users effectively, integrating secure payment processing through Stripe, implementing Google Maps for location services, developing smart filtering systems eliminating unsuitable hotels based on defined criteria, and building customization options supporting diverse traveler preferences for experience packages, accommodations, and transportation.

The Result

starBnR successfully delivers curated travel experiences through a user-friendly platform featuring customized Magento implementation with responsive design, advanced search capabilities, Stripe payment integration, and Google Maps functionality. The platform enables international travelers to discover and book themed local experiences with complete local arrangement support through dedicated ambassadors, creating simple, engaging travel planning experiences that received strong customer appreciation for design, performance, and functionality.
