Product overview

WanderLux is a cinematic travel discovery platform. Destinations, experiences, curated journeys and a guided planner help travellers move from inspiration to a bookable plan with secure payment after approval.

Key features

The live product ships these capabilities end to end.

  • Destination discovery — searchable destinations with experiences, maps and journal storytelling.
  • Journey planner — multi-step planning with day editing, source notes and printable layouts.
  • Booking workflow — saved plans, booking history and admin-approved Stripe Checkout.
  • Operations studio — admin tools for destinations, POIs, experiences, journeys, journal and payments.
  • Accessible motion — readable type scale, keyboard-friendly destination carousels and reduced-motion support.

The user journey
