The trip organizer is an application that wraps various types of information around a location that the user enters. As a result, the concept of a 'location' is central in the design of this mashup. A location is a city or a large town in a country, for example, Athens, Greece or New York, United States. The types of information on a location shown in this mashup are:
Map view of the location
Summary information on the location
Places of interest around the location
Hotels around the remote location filtered by availability according to a set of dates and sorted by the number of stars for the hotel, with the location of each hotel shown on the map
Weather forecast of the location for today and the next six days
Pictures of the location or associated locations
Currency exchange rate of the remote location in comparison with the user's home country
Time zone and current time in the remote location, and a comparison with the user's home time zone
