A booking marketplace connects a searchable supply of places or services with people ready to reserve them. Before development, decide precisely what is being offered, who provides it and who is responsible when a booking goes wrong.
The core workflow includes listings, availability, requests or instant booking, payment and cancellation. Hosts need controlled access to their own records. Customers need clear inclusions, dates and confirmation, while platform staff need tools to resolve exceptions.
Start with a narrow market rather than attempting every property or experience category. Test overlapping requests, withdrawn listings and changed dates. Digital Solutions could scope the proposed marketplace around its own operating model; resemblance to Airbnb does not establish affiliation, demand or permission to reuse another company's content.
