WildTour Web Application

A full-stack Java web application developed as part of the Java Full Stack Development Internship at Pentagon Space. The application provides a user-friendly platform for exploring wildlife tourism destinations, viewing travel packages, and managing tour bookings through an interactive web interface.

Project Overview

WildTour is designed to simplify wildlife tourism management by allowing users to browse safari packages, accommodation options, guide services, and travel packages while securely managing bookings through a database-driven system.

The project demonstrates the integration of frontend, backend, and database technologies in a complete Java web application.
