Horribly broken url management.... selecting a city replaces the home page in history so you can&#x27;t use the browser back button.<p>Plus the search recommends locations nowhere close to the search term... and has like 15 total destinations.

Sometimes off-season exists for a reason (ie: Rainy&#x2F;Hurricane season)

In addition to being costly it also gets very crowded. Went to Amsterdam and couldn&#x27;t see the Anne frank museum due to a huge line of tourist. Then went to italy&#x27;s main square, couldn&#x27;t get inside the Basilica. Then we went to Louvre, same thing. I just don&#x27;t have patience to stand in line for hours, so it is kind of my fault. Still, I think it&#x27;s best to avoid the main tourist attractions because they are generally all booked by tour operators and each groups now contains hundreds of tourists.

I have a similar idea (currently on the backburner) but instead of focusing on &quot;peak&quot; season I thought you would define your own criteria. Some examples:<p>1. When is a good time to visit (ski resort) based on your chances of catching a powder day? What about a sunny day? What about no lines? What about all 3?<p>2. When is the best time to visit northern Thailand when it&#x27;s not too hot.. but air quality is still decent (ie not peak &quot;burning season&quot;)?<p>3. When is a good time to visit San Francisco if I&#x27;m into music (perhaps during a festival) but I can&#x27;t stand rain? And how does that correlate to hotel pricing?<p>Etc..

Interesting concept, but as mentioned in the article, the severely limited list of destinations really limits the utility.
