METHOD AND TOUR PLANNER FOR PLANNING TOUR FOR A GROUP
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for planning a tour for a group, the group comprising one or more travelers, the planning being performed utilizing a communication device, the method comprising:
- a. selecting a travel route by a traveler, via program instructions executed by a microprocessor, from a departure point to a destination point, the travel route being selected from one or more travel routes available between the departure point and the destination point;
b. sharing the travel route, via program instructions executed by the microprocessor, with at least one other traveler of the group along with one or more details associated with the travel route over a network using the communication device;
c. receiving feedback on the travel route, via a computer system, from the at least one other traveler;
d. finalizing the travel route for the group, via program instructions executed by the microprocessor, based on the feedback; and
e. receiving one or more alerts associated with the finalized travel route, via the computer system, on the day of travel on the communication device.

Abstract
The invention describes a method, a tour planner, and a computer program product for planning a tour for a group including one or more travelers. In various embodiments of the invention, the tour planner enables a traveler to select a travel route and simultaneously share the selected travel route with at least one other traveler. Thereafter, based on the feedback of the other traveler, the selected travel route is either changed or finalized by the group. Further, the method facilitates the group of travelers on the day of the travel by providing each one of them with one or more alerts relating the finalized travel route.
