1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to collect, analyse and provide a high-level view and illustrate needs and features of a hotel booking system. It concentrates on the requirements of the stakeholders and the target users, and why these needs exist.
1.1.2 Scope
The scope of this document is purely based round a hotel booking system. A hotel booking system may use more than one information system, and therefore other projects maybe associated with it.

This report will be quite business orientated and will include various diagrams and UML drawings, done in Rational Rose. I will use the system to the extent of following the procedure of booking the tickets and then finishing when credit card details are added.
