### ComfyBud

Tourists find it difficult on how much budget they need to bring when they are planning to travel to a country that they have never been before. Problems can be solved if they have relatives in that country, but that is not always the case for everyone. People rely on a travel agency to provide information, but it is not a cheap solution for tourists. Some people will bring excess budget, but this creates problems related to safety issues and exchange currency rate that change every day. We want to build an automatic budget planning platform for tourists consisting of transportation information, food services, and tourism attractions. It helps tourists how much budget should they bring when they travel to a country.
