Travel Booking System

Welcome to the ABC Travels Booking System! This is a menu-driven console application designed to automate booking operations for a new Travels and Logistics company. The application is implemented using Core Java and the Collections API (Majorly List and Map APIs), with database integration. One of the main reason behind building this application (for now only backend), is to get a robust understanding of core java and all java fundamentals.
