The number of foreign tourists visiting Korea is rapidly increasing due to the spread of culture. In general, foreigners travel to Korea by using travel package products provided by local travel agencies, and then they travel on a tour of famous tourist attractions or experiences related to Korea. These travel package programs go through local outbound travel agencies and Korean inbound travel agencies.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a conventional consumer travels through a package program.

As shown in FIG. 1, the inbound travel agency, which is a land company located in Korea, plans a travel package product centering on major tourist destinations in Korea (S110). Based on this, an outbound travel agency located abroad, recruits a customer who wants to travel to Korea through package product promotional activities (S120).

Then, the outbound travel agency sends the customer to Korea (S150), and the inbound travel agency travels together with the customer (S160).

However, the travel products sold by outbound travel agencies follow the travel package program formed by the inbound travel agency. As a group, they do not take into consideration the schedule modification or the programs tailored to the customers' preferences. It is a system that makes it difficult to increase customer satisfaction because the travel schedule and program are sold in a uniformly designated form.

In addition to this, competition between travel agencies to attract customers has intensified, and so-called dumping tourism attempts to increase sales volume by lowering unit prices are causing another problem. In order to compensate for the negative costs incurred in selling travel products at low prices, there is a problem that deliberately deteriorates the quality of travel services, such as forcing customers to shop or offer options during travel, or poorly providing accommodation and meals have.

For this reason, the proportion of travelers who prefer to travel freely is increasing. But free travel can not be a perfect alternative for travelers. First, it is not easy to calculate the cost. Second, it is very likely that the information will cause damage to the traveler. Due to these problems, there are some places that offer services to plan free travel through online.

However, there is a problem that it is difficult to use because most of the cases are based on the premise that they have knowledge of travel countries and travel destinations in advance and their functions are complicated.

4 is a diagram illustrating a page for registering a basic package according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the basic information inputting process 401 includes inputting a tag associated with a package title, a travel period, a reservation period, a settlement date, a maximum number of passengers, a package introduction, .

The schedule designing process 402 sets an operator's travel course and schedule, accommodation information, and meal conditions.

The travel destination selection process 402-1 is a step of adding a destination to which the user desires to travel. First, select the area where the travel destination is located in the area selection list menu. When a region is selected, the travel destination list of the region is classified only in the travel destination selection menu, so a desired destination is selected. Or a search word (for example, Kyeongbok Palace) in the search word input field is classified into at least the travel destination including the search word in the travel destination selection list menu.

Finally, select the event you would like to visit on the first day, visit the second day, and click the Add button. For example, if you want to visit Gyeongbok Palace on the first day, select Seoul in the area, choose Gyeongbok Palace as your destination, and select Day1 as the schedule. Then, a travel destination (Gyeongbokgung) is added to the travel schedule (Day 1) (402-4). When a travel destination is added, if the trip includes an optional tour, a check box is displayed (402-5) to select whether to proceed with the optional tour. If you do not want an optional tour, uncheck it.

The hotel selection process (402-2) is a step to select a hotel or hotel rating. Select the area where the hotel is located in the area selection list menu. The hotel (hotel class) selection list menu then categorizes the hotels in that area. Hotel classes are always displayed regardless of area. Select the event to visit the hotel or the hotel of that class and click the Add button. Information about the hotel is then added to the schedule (402-7).

The meal condition setting process 402-3 is a step for setting conditions for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is a list menu for each meal, but there are options for not eating, Korean food, specialties, buffet, halal food. For example, if you do not include breakfast on the first day and you want to set lunch for Korean food and dinner for halal, the breakfast selection list menu is none, the lunch selection menu is Korean Meal, the dinner selection menu is Halal Food, Select Day1 and press the Add button. The meal condition is then added to the first day's schedule (402-8).

The course setting process 402-6 is a step of adjusting the order of the courses within a day. There is a field where you can enter a number in the course item, so you can assign the order of the course by typing the numbers from 1 to the number of trips to the destination.

The following is a process 403 for inputting a commodity price. When you press the price input button, a popup window will pop up where you can enter the price. In the case of package travel, transportation means that can be used vary depending on the number of people traveling, such as vans and buses, and the price is lowered as the number of people increases. You can set the number of people step by putting the number in several steps in the input field. Click on the Detailed Schedule tab and you will be presented with a table where you can enter the detailed cost for each number entered in the personnel condition. The total amount is automatically calculated when you enter the amount of goods, transportation expenses, guide fee, etc. here.

The total price for each step entered here is displayed on the package product page that the member can view. Changes in prices and reservations can also be displayed in the form of a bar on the package item page to help members understand it.

Finally, write down what you need to know in the field for entering travel conditions, such as travel excluded, not included. If there is something that should be shared among operators for the package, write it in Memo.

When you have finished entering the basic package, select whether you want to publish it as a radio button and click the Save button to save it to the main server.

If you want to reserve a basic package, click on the Book button, select the date you want to travel, and then enter your reservation information.

5 is a flowchart of registering a host package according to an embodiment of the present invention.

If you want to operate the basic package yourself, or modify the contents of the basic package, you can register the host package.

To become a host, click the Customize button on the package item page (S501).

Then, it goes to the host package registration page where the package can be modified (S502).

After inputting each item on the host package registration page (S503), the consulting is requested to the operator (S504).

The operator checks the contents of the package created by the host and examines the contents of the package (S505). If there is a problem (S505), the operator gives a message to the host and gives feedback to the host (S506).

The host that receives the feedback repeats the process of revising the item again and requesting the operator to accept the check.

If there is no problem with the contents of the package, the operator estimates the commodity price and finally sets the travel condition (S507).

When the host makes a reservation in its own package, the host package registration is finished (S508).

The operator exposes the package to the web site so that another member can make a reservation (S509).

Hosts who wish to operate the basic package should follow the package schedule and contents, but customize it by adjusting only the date and number of travel.

If you want a slightly higher degree of freedom, you can plan your own itinerary, as well as run your own packaged products and target people to travel with.

6 is a diagram illustrating a page in which a host according to an embodiment of the present invention modifies a basic package to create a package of the user himself and registers the package as a host package.

In FIG. 6, the process of inputting the host package basic information is firstly started (step 601). A host can have a package title, a person, a target, a travel period, a reservation period, a payment date, a description of the package and the host itself, and a tag item related to the package.

The target item 601-1 is a place where a condition for a person who wants to travel with him is written. For example, a woman with more than three Muslim religions and a person who raises a puppy can be listed, which has the advantage of bringing common interests and increasing familiarity with other bookmakers. There is also the ability to exclude people who do not fit their preferences by putting the condition that they do not eat meat.

In the next step 602, the travel schedule and course set in the basic package may be modified. If you do not like a particular destination, you can press the delete button to remove it from the course, and if you want to add a destination, you can add it in the same way you did in the default package (402). The hotel and dining conditions can also be set to be the same as that of the basic package (402).

The message transmission process 603 is a step in which an operator and a host can communicate with each other through a message. The present invention is characterized in that it is possible to talk with an operator who is a travel expert on the travel schedule and all matters. After inputting and modifying each item, the host writes a question or other request in the message field (Request message to operator). The message can be confirmed and answered by the operator by pressing the Submit button at the bottom. The last message field (Past messages) contains the contents of messages that were communicated with the operator so that they can be referenced at any time.

The submission process 604 is a step in which the contents of the host package can be stored or submitted to the operator. Registration of the host package may need to be modified several times, so it is possible to set the registration progress stage such as temporary storage, consulting request, completion and reservation start. Temporary storage is a stage in which input contents are temporarily stored and not submitted to the operator. The consulting request step is for the host to complete the package input, store the package, and ask the operator for inspection and estimation. The completion and reservation start phase is the step of exposing the operator to his or her package on the website and requesting to receive the reservation.

However, the reservation period, the settlement date, the price, the travel condition, and the assignment of the operator in charge are set by the operator when the host requests the package consulting with the authority inherent to the operator.

7 is a diagram illustrating a page for validating a host package in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, when a host package consulting request is received, a responsible operator is assigned 701-1. The operator shares the same page as the host registers the package and identifies the feasibility of the travel itinerary the host has planned and all the particulars.

Then, a price quote is given considering the travel course, the number of people, and the travel period (702). The price entry method is the same as entering the price on the basic package registration page (403). In this page, the operator can confirm the message left by the host (703).

In the Received Message field, a field in which the operator can write a reply (Recent message from host) is created and the message is written here. In Past messages, you can also view the history of messages that were exchanged with the host in the past.

If you have other notes, you can write them in the memo field (Operator memo).

Finally, a radio button that can distinguish the host package processing step is selected (705). Each process consists of Temporary save, New request, Consulting, On promotion, Cancel package, and Complete / Complete payment.

After completing the check process, the user can confirm the host through his terminal by pressing the Save button.

When coordination and consulting between the host and the operator are completed and the host agrees to sell the host package, the host must reserve the package in its own package. When a reservation is made for the host, the operator places the corresponding host package on the website and begins receiving reservations from other members.

When the host package item page is opened, another member can view it and apply for the host package reservation. The host reserves the right to check the list of members who have applied for a reservation. This list includes simple information such as the member's profile link, name, nationality, gender, age, and message to the host. The host can view this information and approve or deny the member's reservation.

The product page has a field where the host and the member can share the message on a one-to-one basis. Members can use this field to ask questions or make friends before asking for a reservation. This message field is in the form of a chat room available to the host and its members, and each message is displayed whether or not the other party has confirmed it.

The host package is also priced the same as the basic package, and members can check the price on the host package item page.

Payment of the basic package and host package follows the card opening method. Because the price may vary depending on the number of people booked, the price will be fixed until the reservation deadline or the deadline is reached.

Therefore, members must provide card information such as card number when reserving package items.

Then, the operator makes a credit card settlement in advance on the settlement day announced beforehand. If you wish to cancel your reservation in this process, you must pay a cancellation fee.

Hosts are rated from one to five stars. The activity level is calculated by summing up the activity of the host on the site, the experience of operating the package, and the evaluation of the members using the package product that they operated. The activity level can be an indicator of the reliability of the host.

On the other hand, the present invention includes a social network function for connecting members.

Social networking is the ability for members to add other members who are active on the website as friends, and to interact with friends or with friends.

When you become a friend, your friend's activity log is revealed to the member. Here, activity is a process whereby a member on a web site, such as placing a package item on a wish list, making a reservation, becoming a host, writing or commenting, registering an image, making a friend, Refers to everything that can be done. Knowing the activity log of a friend makes it easier to form a fellowship on the website because you can make feedback about it.

There are many ways to make friends. Generally, click on the link that appears when you click on the link of the member's information exposed on the website. If you want to find a friend who can share your interests, you can search by putting search terms related to your interests in the search box.

In addition, the present invention is linked to a plug-in of a social platform such as Facebook, which is a social network service (SNS).
