WonderLust - Travel Recommendation Program

Overview

WonderLust is a practical, Python-based, travel inspiration tool that suggests travel destinations based on user preferences. By considering Vacation Type, Budget Constraints, and Travel Season, it filters through a curated list of cities to recommend the best match.

How It Works

• The user selects two out of three criteria: Vacation Type, Budget, or Season.
• The program filters destinations accordingly.
• Results are refined using set operations and dictionary lookups to ensure tailored recommendations.

Key Features

• Personalised Matching: Cities are selected based on user preferences.
• Efficient Data Handling: Uses dictionaries for structured storage and retrieval.
• Error Handling: try/except blocks prevent unexpected crashes.
• Set Operations: Avoids duplicate recommendations.
