Inspiration

Our inspiration for creating Turtle Trips came from the frustration of how complicated travel planning can be. Balancing dates, activities, budgets, and logistics often turns an exciting trip into a stressful chore. We wanted to simplify that experience by using AI to handle the planning process intelligently and efficiently. With Turtle Trips, users can simply share their preferences, and the AI generates personalized multi-day itineraries complete with activities, routes, and maps. Our goal was to bring back the joy of traveling by removing the hassle of organization—making it easy for anyone to plan and then relax like a turtle.

What it does

Turtle Trips is an AI-powered travel assistant that simplifies trip planning from start to finish. Users provide a few prompts or complete a quick survey about their interests, budget, and travel style. The AI then generates multiple personalized multi-day itineraries, each featuring detailed activity schedules, dining suggestions, and recommended accommodations. An interactive map highlights all itinerary locations, routes, and estimated travel times to help users visualize their journey. Turtle Trips allows travelers to easily compare options, customize plans, and explore destinations—all in one place—making travel planning faster, smarter, and more enjoyable than ever before.

How we built it

We built it with Flask framework using HTML, CSS , JS, Gemini API, Google Maps API, Google Plans API.

Challenges we ran into

During development, we faced several challenges, including setting up GitHub for collaboration and configuring our development environment. Designing the home page’s CSS took significant effort to perfect the layout and responsiveness. Additionally, integrating and correctly parsing data from the JSON file was tricky, requiring debugging and adjustments to ensure the app displayed information accurately.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re proud of the accomplishments we achieved while building Turtle Trips. We designed our own unique turtle mascot to represent our brand’s friendly and adventurous spirit. Our team implemented many exciting features, including generating multiple personalized itineraries and an interactive map to visualize routes. We also focused heavily on creating an attractive, user-friendly interface that makes exploring and customizing trips enjoyable and visually engaging for every traveler.
