Hidden Gems - App & Web Application + landing page
**Project Overview**
HiddenGems is a mobile application and web platform designed to help users find and book local attractions, described as "hidden gems." This includes guided tours and locations that offer tickets or reservations. Users can explore these attractions on a map or through curated collections, view detailed information, and take immediate actions such as booking dates, purchasing tickets, or signing up for tours. The platform also features a partner module, allowing partners to create accounts and list their own attractions or tours with descriptions, photos, locations, pricing, and availability. Additionally, users can create and share their own discovery journals.
