to be sent directly to guests, ensuring effective and timely
communication.
The primary focus of the web-based booking system is
to streamline and simplify the reservation process for resorts.
Leveraging the modular structure and scalability of the
Laravel framework [6][7][8], the system offers a flexible and
customizable solution that can cater to the unique needs of
different resorts. The modular architecture facilitates easy
integration of additional features and enhancements, allowing
the system to evolve alongside the changing requirements of
the industry.
An essential feature of this booking system is the
integration of SMS notifications, which enables instant
updates and notifications to be sent to guests via text

messages [9][10][11][12][13]. By keeping guests informed
about their reservation status, payment reminders, and other
important information, the system enhances communication
and improves the overall guest experience. This real-time
communication ensures that guests remain engaged and well-
informed throughout the booking process.
Furthermore, the web-based nature of the system offers
numerous advantages. It eliminates the need for manual
paperwork and provides a centralized platform for managing
reservations, enhancing efficiency and reducing
administrative burdens [14][15][16][17]. The system can be
accessed from anywhere with an internet connection,
allowing resort staff to efficiently handle bookings and
access important information on the go.
The efficient and scalable web-based booking system
for resorts, powered by Laravel with SMS notification
capabilities, presents a comprehensive solution to streamline
the reservation process and enhance communication with
guests. Leveraging the strengths of the Laravel framework
and the real-time communication provided by SMS
notifications, this system enables resorts to deliver
exceptional service, improve operational efficiency, and
provide a seamless booking experience for their valued
guests.
