As complement to the prosperous tourism industry, services that cater to help people to planned their accommodation and travel itinerary has been blooming.

Often, tourists are unsure of the culture of their destination and are often being reaped with high prices charged to them. The aims of this application, SMARTravel, will be to assist user to negotiate for appropriate price and equip them with the necessary information for such a negotiation to take place. The location, probabilities of conducting such a negotiation and the method to negotiate will be presented to the user of the application. The focus of this report is to document the development process of SMARTravel, and the algorithm behind the negotiation process, as well as suggestion for future improvements.
