        abstract = {Planning a trip that aligns with one’s budget, time, and interests can be challenging for families seeking affordable and meaningful travel experiences. Most existing platforms emphasize mainstream attractions and accommodation options, offering minimal personalization and limited local exploration. Plan My Trip is a community-based web platform designed to simplify travel planning across Maharashtra by providing personalized destination suggestions generated from user preferences such as budget, duration, and interests. The system integrates technologies including Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB Atlas, Cloud nary, and Google Maps API to ensure scalability, performance, and ease of use. By enabling users to share authentic experiences and discover hidden local destinations, the platform enhances engagement and decision-making efficiency. The study concludes that combining personalization with community participation improves satisfaction and lays a foundation for future AI-driven itinerary recommendations.},
