For an in depth understanding into this section of the hospitality industry we conducted research based on how patrons react to holidays and vacations in general and how they view going on a luxury or semi luxury vacation.
There were some factors to consider, such as income of the patrons, age group, married or single, kids or without kids.
There was always one common denominator with the patrons and most of the time it came down to finances, in order to afford the holiday patrons really want they most often than not have to spend more than their actual holiday budget for those who have one and others just cannot afford to go on holiday. For those that can actually afford some form of holiday, they sometimes get disappointed as the pictures are deceiving which leaves them sceptical when planning future holidays.
During this process all the result from the research and user interviews were taking into consideration, formatting a flow where users can easily access these services, finding affordable holiday destinations

The client made it clear all users authenticated or not should be able to access the service and should only be authenticated when they decide pay for one of the service, this was really a good idea, as this give users the choice to browse through without commitment of registration or signing in (no obligation). Users can window shop until they are ready to purchase.
This phase was quit exiting for me as a designer because this is where most of the main design ideas start to take shape, we did a few options to present to the client giving, few iterations where done on the Low fidelity design before we moved into high fidelity, but ultimately we found a system that works and started building from there.
Stay-in successfully bridges the gap between affordability and luxury in the travel industry, offering users a seamless and personalized experience. By addressing the primary concerns of budget constraints and misleading travel options, the app provides accessible solutions through transparent pricing, exclusive discounts, and authentic accommodations. The user-centered research, thoughtful conceptualization, and meticulous design process have culminated in a platform that empowers users to plan their dream getaways effortlessly, without financial strain or unnecessary commitments. Stay-in stands as a testament to how innovative UX design can transform a niche market into an inclusive, user-friendly experience for all.
