What is the GIRL Project?
GIRL (Gabo Island Resort Lodge) is a creative project and live software demonstration developed by Colin Dixon for the Australian digital platform OZE Bookings.
Conceived as an imaginative historic luxury resort operating in the style of early 20th-century island retreats, GIRL serves as a demanding reference implementation for booking engines, inventory allocation, and automated guest reservations.
