Project Overview
Travel Agency CRM - MVP is a modern, AI-powered Customer Relationship Management system designed specifically for travel agencies. Built with Next.js and powered by Google Gemini 2.0 Flash, it revolutionizes how travel agencies interact with customers and manage their sales pipeline.

- •Provide agents with a comprehensive view of the sales pipeline
