Introduction
The Travel Booking System is a simple desktop application that allows users to calculate the total cost of a trip based on their destination, the number of guests, the number of nights they will be staying, and whether they want to rent a car. Developed using C# programming language and the .NET framework, this application can be used by anyone who needs to calculate the cost of a trip quickly and easily.
The application’s user interface is simple and intuitive, with a list box, text boxes, and radio buttons that allow users to input the necessary information. The list box for the destination provides a list of popular travel destinations, such as New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, and San Francisco. The application then uses the selected destination to calculate the airfare cost.
Users can also indicate whether they require car rental services and select between basic or luxury car options. The rental car cost is then determined based on the user’s selection and the number of days they will be using the car.
The hotel cost is calculated based on the number of nights the user will be staying, and is set to a default cost per night of $150.
Finally, the application calculates the total cost of the trip by adding up the airfare cost, hotel cost, and rental car cost (if applicable), and multiplying by the number of guests. The total cost is then displayed in the output box, formatted as currency.

Conclusion
Overall, the Travel Booking System is a simple and effective tool for calculating the cost of a trip. It could be useful for travel agents, event planners, or anyone else who needs to calculate the cost of travel quickly and easily. While this application is relatively basic, it could be expanded upon to include additional features, such as the ability to book travel directly from the application or to provide recommendations for activities and attractions at the user’s destination.
