Excerpt.

A case about creating an aggregator with an automatic selection of current offers from the best travel operators. One system – thousands of offers. For different price categories.

Client story.

company is a Latvian tour operator organizing trips to many countries of the world. A wide network of partners allows the company to provide services at a high level and strive to develop new directions.

During the conversation, company representatives told us about their project in the field of tourism.

We were given the following tasks:

  1. To develop an aggregator that will allow combining travel offers from the 5 largest Latvian travel companies - Teztour, Novatours, etc.
  2. All offers must be displayed on a single website and have a payment system for placing an order.

This approach helps to achieve the following goals:

  • to attract target audience and increase traffic
  • to increase sales volume
  • to ensure minimal content manager intervention - automatically collected data is simply duplicated on the aggregator pages.

Customers needed an electronic trading platform based on the "all in a single place" principle. The system was supposed to combine offers from several resources with the ability to place an order on an aggregator website.

Our solution.

In this project, we became contractors and followed the concept set by the customer. We created the website design and the programming part, including the data collection robots (parsers).

If the service provider (a tour operator) provided the access to its Web API or valid API libraries, we used them in our work. In other cases, we have created more complex data collection systems.

The result.

Home page

The home page consists of the following sections:

  • current directions
  • popular offers (Popular products)
  • recommended offers at the best price (Best price)

The selection is formed by the administrator.

Users can also enter here the desired dates and the number of people to get suitable offers for their request.

Summary.

During 4 months of work, we managed to create a full-fledged aggregator that collected current offers from tour operator websites. Users no longer spend time visiting different websites and get all the necessary information in a single place.

Current offers and prices allow users to compare several options for the cost of services at once.

The coronavirus pandemic hit hard the tourism industry around the world and, in particular, in Latvia. Therefore, the customer postponed the release dates and took the opportunity to improve the aggregator's functions.
