Traveler - Tour Management System
A full-stack tour booking platform for travelers, guides & admins
Project Overview
Traveler is a full-stack tour management platform built with React + TypeScript on the frontend and Node.js + Express + MongoDB on the backend. It supports three distinct user roles — Traveler, Tour Guide, and Admin — each with a dedicated dashboard. The system features JWT-based authentication (email/password and Google OAuth via Passport.js), tour browsing with filters, a booking workflow, payment tracking with PDF invoice generation, a review and rating system, and email notifications. The backend uses Redis for caching, Cloudinary for image storage, and is deployed on Vercel.
