Description:
The Destination Cost Estimator is a web application that helps travelers estimate the overall cost of a trip to various destinations by factoring in expenses such as accommodation, transportation, food, activities, and miscellaneous costs. It enables users to plan budgets effectively and compare travel options before making decisions.

The backend (PHP, Java, or Node.js) manages destination data, cost parameters, and user preferences. The frontend (HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript) provides an interactive interface where users input trip details like duration, number of travelers, and preferred comfort level, then receive a detailed cost breakdown and summary.

Key Features:

• Extensive database of destinations with average cost data (hotels, meals, transport, attractions).

• Input parameters: travel dates, group size, accommodation type, and activity preferences.

• Customizable cost categories for personalized budgeting.

• Comparison tool to evaluate costs between multiple destinations.

• Currency converter integrated with real-time exchange rates.

• Exportable cost estimates as PDF or Excel files.

• Mobile-responsive design for planning on the go.

Example Use Case:

A traveler planning a 7-day trip to Goa enters details such as solo travel, mid-range hotels, and sightseeing activities. The app estimates total expenses, breaking down costs into accommodation, meals, transport, and extras, helping the traveler set a realistic budget.
