Create a travel itinerary compiler

Here’s a Travel Itinerary Compiler — a simple and flexible tool that allows users to create customized itineraries for any trip. This version can be adapted into an app, website feature, or document generator. Below is a basic implementation in Python for a command-line tool. If you’re building it for a website or app, I can provide a JavaScript/React version too.


🧳 Travel Itinerary Compiler (Python Version)

python
import datetime class TravelItinerary: def __init__(self, trip_name, start_date, end_date, traveler_name): self.trip_name = trip_name self.start_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(start_date, "%Y-%m-%d") self.end_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(end_date, "%Y-%m-%d") self.traveler_name = traveler_name self.days = {} def add_activity(self, date, time, location, activity_description): activity_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d") if activity_date < self.start_date or activity_date > self.end_date: print("Activity date out of itinerary range.") return if date not in self.days: self.days[date] = [] self.days[date].append({ "time": time, "location": location, "description": activity_description }) def generate_itinerary(self): itinerary = f"Travel Itinerary for {self.traveler_name} - {self.trip_name}n" itinerary += f"From {self.start_date.date()} to {self.end_date.date()}n" itinerary += "-" * 60 + "n" current_date = self.start_date while current_date <= self.end_date: date_str = current_date.strftime("%Y-%m-%d") itinerary += f"n📅 {date_str}:n" if date_str in self.days: for activity in sorted(self.days[date_str], key=lambda x: x['time']): itinerary += f" ⏰ {activity['time']} - 📍 {activity['location']} - {activity['description']}n" else: itinerary += " No planned activities.n" current_date += datetime.timedelta(days=1) return itinerary # Example usage if __name__ == "__main__": trip = TravelItinerary("Europe Summer Trip", "2025-06-10", "2025-06-15", "John Doe") trip.add_activity("2025-06-10", "09:00", "Paris", "Visit Eiffel Tower") trip.add_activity("2025-06-10", "14:00", "Louvre Museum", "Art tour") trip.add_activity("2025-06-11", "08:00", "Train Station", "Travel to Amsterdam") trip.add_activity("2025-06-12", "10:00", "Van Gogh Museum", "Explore artwork") trip.add_activity("2025-06-13", "11:00", "Berlin", "Checkpoint Charlie tour") trip.add_activity("2025-06-14", "12:00", "Prague", "Castle walk and lunch") trip.add_activity("2025-06-15", "16:00", "Prague Airport", "Flight back home") print(trip.generate_itinerary())

🛠️ Key Features

  • Date validation: Ensures activities fall within the trip range.

  • Sorting: Orders activities by time per day.

  • Flexible data: Add any location or description.

  • Easily extendable: You can add packing lists, weather forecasts, hotel check-ins, etc.

Would you like this as a web app or embedded tool for a site? I can build a user interface version next.
