Travel Now (https://travel-now.app/) is a local-first, privacy-focused travel intelligence and visual exploration platform. It centers on an interactive 3D globe covering 145 destinations across 100+ tracked data metrics per country, side-by-side country comparison, flight route maps, specialized legal guides, and Country Dossiers H2 2026.
No. Travel Now is not a travel agency, booking site, or ticket vendor. It is a pre-trip intelligence platform built to answer "Should I go there?" and "What do I need to know on the ground?" rather than selling flights or hotel rooms.
Travel Now caters to 10 distinct travel personas who need real, structured data before making trip decisions:
Country Dossiers are unvarnished, live-sourced ground-truth intelligence reports for all 145 covered countries. Built on the core house directive "The headline is incomplete," every dossier closes the gap between media headlines and actual daily lived reality on the ground across 6 navigation sections: Arrival & Borders, Street Mood, Key Shifts, Ideal Window, Ground Sourcing, and Tactical Verdict.
Built on Three.js and D3.js, the 3D Command Globe renders 145 covered countries with interactive fills, city points, and airport markers. When filters are applied in the Smart Discovery Engine, unqualified countries fade into darkness, while matching destinations illuminate in bright emerald green.
The Side-by-Side Comparison Engine allows you to select up to 3 destinations simultaneously and compare over 100 data points side-by-side across 13 core categories: Trip Planning, Visa & Entry, Budget & Cost, Transport, Internet, Infrastructure, Money & Payments, Safety, Health, Culture & Language, Nature & Activities, Tourism Vibe, and Lifestyle.
Travel Now indexes 357 airports across 145 countries. Selecting an airport hub activates the 3D Connection Finder, rendering over 8,600 real flight route pairs as glowing 3D curved trajectory arcs connecting major hubs worldwide.
Travel Now includes a dedicated Wild Camping Guide evaluating legality status (Legal, Tolerated, Restricted, Prohibited), legal details, safety notes, and police enforcement strictness across all 145 countries.
Travel Now features a dedicated Cannabis Law Guide providing precise information on legal status categories, tourist retail access, age requirements, tourist possession gram limits, penalties if caught, public consumption rules, social stigma, and local street prices per gram.
Each of the 145 countries includes a dedicated Markdown Language Guide with essential phrases and cultural context. The built-in TTS engine intelligently maps regional languages to BCP-47 device voices, falling back to a custom phonetic engine for rare dialects.
Travel Now wraps Google Translate V3 in a custom Translate Bridge UI. To prevent translation scripts from breaking React's virtual DOM or 3D coordinate math, strict translate="no" and notranslate classes lock structural components while localizing intelligence text into 100+ languages.
Yes. Travel Now is built on a local-first architecture. It operates 100% client-side in your browser, requires zero sign-up or accounts, and never tracks, collects, or sells your personal travel data.
Yes. All CSV databases, airport routing data, and language survival guides are bundled directly into the app binary, allowing key intelligence features to function without an active internet connection.
Travel Now features a centralized Crisis Management System. When a country experiences an active crisis, it is dynamically masked from search, comparison, and the 3D globe as 'Not Covered', preserving historical database integrity until stability returns.
Users can generate branded, high-resolution graphic 'Share Cards' from the comparison matrix using html-to-image and native file system caching, piping them directly into Instagram, WhatsApp, or Twitter via native share sheets.
