Each destination in an itinerary includes the following information:
Name
The destination's name.
Description
A short description of the destination.
Cost
The monetary cost at the destination (e.g., admission fees).
Arrival time
The time of arrival at the destination.
Stay duration
How long the group stays at the destination.
Transportation
The transportation mode, cost, and duration from the previous destination (ignored for the first destination).
Constraint validation
This structured representation allows the framework to validate a proposed itinerary against the meeting constraints — the travel date, budget, and time window — and to compare itineraries in terms of objective metrics such as total cost, total time, and the number of destinations. When a proposed itinerary violates a time or cost constraint, the proposing participant is asked to regenerate it through the retry loop. The objective metrics are also used by the contrastive explanation style, which compares a proposed itinerary with the current one.
