Blaast Lexury Hotel Booing applcaiton

The business owner needs to create one booking application for VIP Travellers who are traveling to Greece, the business is aiming to sell only the luxury travel clubs in Greece.

 The opportunity here was to create a mobile app to allow travelers to plan and book local experiences like Sun Launchers, Stays, and Different Theme parties based on their interests. The business provided me with a brief asking us to focus on the following features:

1. Browsing and booking the beach hotel functions based on their interests
2. Messaging and chat function
3. Ability to load extra money into their account and enjoy a hands-free vacation 
4. Rating and sharing the experience on the app

This is my project and I have handled the:

1. Research,
2. User flows, 
3. Information Architecture, 
4. Wireframing, 
5. Prototyping, 
6. UI design

Initially, we want to know how travelers are currently finding and booking local experiences and how they are using the hotel’s services. We quickly learned that our target audience is from a very young age to older than we initially assumed, and for the most part, they were busy professionals mixing business and pleasure.

We performed a competitive analysis with a few competitors in Greece. We found that in most mobile apps or hotel websites, users are not able to contact the hotel to learn more about local experiences or see reviews on the majority of websites.

In the part of user research, we conducted user interviews to speak to both business and leisure travelers to get a better understanding of both types of travelers’ goals and pain points.

Interview Findings
After considering all our findings into an affinity map, the common themes we saw emerging were:

1. Travelers always want to spend time without any interference.
2. Travelers are coming from around the world are may be very important people like business owners, VIP people, and common people so the application should be trustworthy and manging by one to one 
3. They need to book the options based on the mood and occasion.
4. While the booking time the enjoyment should be hands-free such as don’t pay anything at the hotel or don’t carry any payments or cards.
5. Sense of discovery and spontaneity users wanted to feel in a new place.

Based on our user interviews and the research, we created our persona, Richard, to create a better experience for targetted users.

Goals.

1. Taking a holiday in Greece after a long time so need to spend time on the beach and party.
2. Need to find a property based on their mood and occasion.
3. The booking needs to spontaneous 
4. All payments should be done in a single time and don’t need to carry or pay any money in the hotel or club.
