ZRI Adventures

A travel and experiences platform for browsing, planning and booking guided trips.

The ZRI Adventures home page: a full-bleed photograph of a quad bike rider on a hillside trail, under a navigation bar for experiences, tours, events, merchandise, rentals and vouchers.

Role

Engineer — frontend and booking flow

Stack

  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • PostgreSQL
  • Payments

The problem

Travel booking asks a lot of a visitor before they commit — dates, group size, itinerary variants — and every extra step in that flow costs a booking.

Approach

  1. 01Compressed the enquiry-to-booking path and let visitors explore itineraries without committing up front.
  2. 02Made trip content rich but fast, since imagery sells the trip and latency kills it.

System

The booking flow is the architecture. Every step between arriving and committing is one a visitor can abandon, so exploration is free and unauthenticated and the flow only asks for details once there is something to pay for.

  1. Visitor

    • Trip browsing
    • Itinerary variants
    • No commitment up front
  2. App

    • Next.js app
    • Compressed enquiry path
  3. Booking

    • Dates + group size
    • Payments
  4. Data

    • PostgreSQL
    • Trip content

Outcome

  • Browsing, planning and booking unified in one flow.
