Backend-Repo-for-Myanmar-Coastal-Journey

a backend repository for the Myanmar Coastal Journey mobile app for special project of MIIT Students in 2025-2026 academic year

Tech stack

• Runtime: Node.js
• Framework: Express (TypeScript)
• Database: MongoDB Atlas (Mongoose)

Project Description

Myanmar Coastal Journey delivers a rich set of features that help users explore Myanmar’s beaches effectively. Each beach page includes location details, cultural background, scenic highlights, photo galleries, recommended activities, and travel tips. The food and souvenirs section highlights local dishes, snacks, specialties, handmade products, and shop information. The platform lets users book bus, car, and flight tickets directly or through verified agents. A route planner displays travel paths, estimated travel time, transportation options, and cost breakdowns. Hotels, resorts, and homestays can be easily browsed, compared, and booked. Users can choose ready-made travel packages or request custom tours.
