  We found that an average traveler plans about 10 trips in an year and spends almost 30 hrs in preparation ( travelers visit about 22+ website and numerous friends just to prepare a trip) We have been working for 4 months to create an automatic trip planner which can prepare a custom travel itinerary for travelers in a couple of seconds.We have now completed the planning logic and working towards a release next month. We are looking for some suggestions/feedbacks from the hacker news community so that released version comes out as a better product. http://demo.triptern.com http://demo.triptern.com shows the basic algorithm working with some key features missing. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Site : demo.triptern.com

    just tried that..so by automatic planner means you will be providing me exact times of arrival and departure at a place...but it looks like generic type so, how it is tailor-made for me (tailor-made is mentioned on demo site) ?

    We would be taking some inputs from the user eg. city , number of days, interest ( art ,culture , night life ), budget. We then consider these inputs and use some of our such as ranking of places of interest, opening closing time, distance between two places. Keeping all these in mind we prepare the optimal itinerary for the user. We are also working on integrating the social aspect i.e. sharing trips with friends, saving you trip history etc.
