Thanks for the interesting example. Couple of questions: Not many people go on six week vacations, right? If you were planning a two week holiday, would you still be faced with so many decisions and complexity? If not, the market you represent would be limited to longer holidays, which may be a very small market. Second, could an app provide you with a better service than your travel agent? i.e. is this a "problem", or is a "solved problem" because a satisfactory solution exists already?

I usually take 2 to 3 week vacations, but I try to do interesting things. Ride horses around mongolia. Hike volcanos in Indonesia. Bike and eat across France. Planning is a huge pain because we have to learn everything before we can make the right choices. A travel agent already knows the domain. I do think there could be tools to help agents arrange trips more quickly given our unique constraints. Sadly, there is no app for that. Regardless, the market is likely a small niche.
