We initially conducted a survey of the leading platforms of airlines and hotel booking sites to identify the specific interface patterns that effectively manage complex travel data. Our analysis revealed a clear industry standard: while both sectors rely on tabbed service selection and left-sidebar filtering to streamline navigation, they diverge in result presentation: airlines utilize visual date-price bars and multi-step wizards to optimize for logistical transparency, whereas hotel platforms leverage image-led cards and scarcity triggers to drive emotional engagement and urgency. Our web framework defines a highly agnostic boilerplate which can be seeded with any data-modality with an easy-to-tailor pattern, which we leverage to define a \texttt{hotel} and \texttt{airline} mode. Both modes are then individually deployed via an environment level argument which adjusts the proxy routing with a custom middleware inside next.js to render only the desired mode. The purpose of this was to create a baseline adaptable to any use-case or desired commercial application. @@ -216,3 +216,11 @@ In our simulation, the "Follower" is implemented as a set of Actors.
