Product Vision
To build a unified luxury travel platform that connects multiple lodges and microsites while keeping content clear, scalable, and easy to manage.
The Challenge
Managing a Complex Multi Site Luxury Ecosystem
The platform needed to handle large, interconnected content across multiple sites while keeping everything clear and performant.

Key Points
Complex map system with locations, routes, distances, and travel options
One global site and four microsites with shared and unique content
Yearly rate tables requiring frequent and accurate updates
Smart logic needed for accommodation display based on availability
Family journey planning with clear time-based itineraries
Offers needed to work across both global and microsite levels
Large datasets needed fast loading and smooth performance
Live availability system required across all lodges
Key Challenges Faced
- Managing high volume, interconnected content without confusion
- Maintaining performance across multiple microsites
- Ensuring consistency while allowing content flexibility
- Reducing manual effort in updates and data handling
- Preventing errors in rates, availability, and listings
