 The system will provide several functionalities that will help users use the platform easily. First, there will be an option for user registration and login, so that each user will have their own profile through which they can track their reservations. Furthermore, the system will provide accommodation search and filtering based on criteria such as location, price, type of accommodation, and availability. Users should be able to view accommodation details, including descriptions, photos, and information about the services offered by the hotel/apartment. In addition, the system will enable making and managing reservations, as well as viewing their status.
+== Detailed description
+=== Who is the database and project intended for, and who would own and provide the service?
+The Planora database and application are intended to be owned and managed by a company or organization operating in the travel and accommodation sector. In this idea, Planora would function as a booking platform provider that offers accommodation listings and reservation services to customers. The organization behind it would be responsible for maintaining the database, managing the application, storing accommodation and reservation data, and ensuring that the service is available to users. Their main needs would be to organize accommodation information in one place, simplify booking management, improve customer experience and support efficient communication between guests and accommodation providers.
+
+=== What problems in the company or organization will this solve?
+This system solves several practical problems. First, it reduces the difficulty of managing large amounts of accommodation data, reservations and customer information manually. Second, it helps avoid confusion related to availability, double bookings and incomplete reservation records. Third, it improves transparency by giving users clear information about prices, services, and accommodation details. It also saves time for both customers and administrators by automating search, filtering and reservation processes. Overall, Planora improves organization, efficiency, and service quality in the accommodation booking process.
+
+=== What types of users will have access to the database and the project?
+The system would support several types of users:
+* Guests – users who search and book accommodations.
+* Hosts – users who add and manage apartments, hotels, offers, prices and availability.
+* Administrators – users responsible for managing the platform, monitoring reservations, maintaining user accounts, and ensuring the system works correctly.
+
+=== If similar ideas or solutions already exist, how is this proposal different?
+There are already many booking platforms in the world, such as Booking.com or Airbnb. However, Planora can be different by focusing on a simpler, more transparent and more user-friendly experience. It may also be adapted to a specific market, region, or group of users, making it more suitable for local needs. Another difference could be in offering a clearer structure for comparing accommodations, easier filtering and more direct management for smaller property owners. 
+
+=== Is it a web, mobile, and/or desktop application?
+Planora is best designed as a web application, since users can access it easily from any device with a browser. It can also be extended into a mobile application in the future to provide even more convenience for users who want to search and book accommodations from their phones. A desktop version is less necessary, because the main functions of the platform are well suited for web and mobile use.
