This is a submission for the KendoReact Free Components Challenge.
What I Built
I built a comprehensive Travel Planner application that integrates real-time travel data from Amadeus APIs with KendoReact components to create an intuitive trip planning experience. The app solves the problem of fragmented travel planning by bringing together hotels, flights, activities, and budget visualization in one seamless interface.
Key features include:
Smart Trip Planning: Select destinations, dates, and traveler count with real-time validation
Live Data Integration: Real hotel, flight, and activity data via Amadeus Travel APIs
Interactive Scheduling: Drag-and-drop itinerary management with weekly calendar view
Dynamic Budget Visualization: Pie chart showing cost breakdowns that update based on API data
Hotel Comparison: Sortable grid with booking functionality and real pricing
Optional Flight Integration: Toggle-based flight search with pricing and scheduling
