BACKGROUND
Travelling is a very common word for every people today. Travelling is not only hobby for some people but it is a must of adventure for most of the people today. Travelling is done for various reasons some people visit places to gain knowledge and other visit places for refreshment and to enjoy the vacation. Finding the best working agency for the complete package is really a tough time. As it needs a lot of time to roam to different agencies and search for the best one, it becomes infeasible for people ..Inorder to fulfil these defects our project is based on webpage where the user can book rooms or flight tickets from the comfort of their home using the internet. In todays world, time is of great value so it is desirable to save the time and make maximum utilization of it. It would be great utilization of time if one could do all their planning and bookings in less amount of time.

The client has to go to many places to find the right travel agency, if the client has no idea about the place where he is travelling then he might be in lot of trouble which the client might not want to face.

Webpage and form will be built with the help of PHP. It has user friendly environment where we can drag and drop the item needed for the development of webpage and form directly from the tool bar. This helps to minimize the time for the completion of the project. The library function provided in SQL and PHP will be helpful for coding the program.
