Dear Consultant,

According to the design of the course, I have to make a real life project. In this
respect, I have chosen to make a project on “Hotel Reservation & Management
system”. Now I am going to prepare a project proposal about project. The proposal
sets forth a description of the objectives and scope of the assignment, along with a
detailed description of the methodology to be employed, an estimate of the time
requirements.

Additionally, for your conveniences I have enclosed a copy of the confirmation

letter detailing this proposal. If the proposal meets your acceptance please sign and
accept my proposal. If you have any questions regarding the contents of the
proposal, please feel free to ask. I look forward to working that I will carefully
finish this project on this assignment.

2. Background
Bangladesh is a growing tourist destination, there has been a good rise in the number of
hotels and resorts in Bangladesh and the tourist sector is broadening thus I have chosen this
sector to do my project and I am making Hotel Reservation System. The rapid development
and commercialization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for the
travel and tourism industry has prompted hotels and other enterprises in this sector to
 increasingly adopt these technologies. The ICT based products and processes help the hotels
to enhance the operating efficiency, improve the service experience as well as provide a
means to access markets on a global basis. ICTs were used in the hotel industry from the late
seventies in the form of Computerized Reservation systems and Global distribution systems.

3. Overview of Hotel Reservation System

Hotel Reservation System has all the dynamic versatile features required to run hotels, motels
and guest house business. Hotel Reservation System offers an operational integration
between reservations, guest history, reception/ front desk, Sales Ledger, Accounting and
Reporting modules. Software has facility to generate report for analyzes your booking,
checking and checkout status.

Hotel Reservation System is the best suit for managing you resource in very simple but
effective manner with minimal efforts or time so that it increases your revenue. Hotel
Reservation System helps you to manage small to medium size boutique, hotels, Inns,
cottages, Bed, campgrounds and cabins and Breakfasts. Hotel management or booking
system is design to help you manage your booking and use the gathered data in reports to
help analyze your marketing and financial results. Hotel Booking software is a complete
software suite consisting of integrated modules for various aspects of hotel management.

4. Main Features:
• Save the client’s information into the database prior to Booking or Check in.
• Customize the type of Hotel rooms with prices.
• Booking for the customer for specific date with advance payment.
• Check in into the hotel for the duration.
• Checkout from the hotel after payment operation.
• Each time make a reservation, room status is updated and the customer details are added to
your hotel database.
• Better option for expensive CRM.
• This system can be used by all of the hotels.
• This project is web-based and is using PHP and Mysql with other web technology.

6. Phases for Project Development

Problem Analysis:
In Bangladesh there are more than 10000 hotels which are gaining their international
customers but online booking system is implemented by some renowned hotels only so the
hotel reservation system is one of the projects that will be required in the Bangladeshi tourist
sector so I have chosen it:
Google Maps are also not in use and I am implementing it which will help the customer to
 find out the location of hotel.
Customer Relationship Management is also established and I am maintaining it which will
help to find out customer repository.
Feasibility Study:
There are many problems with the existing hotel reservation system in Bangladesh and the
problems are stated in the problem analysis. It is economically feasible as I am making this
for the partial fulfillment of the BCIS program and is operationally feasible as I am making
this system by removing the threats and weaknesses of existing systems as well as it is
technologically feasible as I am using open source coding with the use of PHP and MySql.
Project Analysis:
In Project Analysis we collect data from different documents, manual and sites for the
collection of the data we have interviewed different online booking uses as well as the
owners of the hotel.
