Last-minute group trip planning forcing proactive travelers to absorb higher costs and disruption

Summary
Group trips are repeatedly derailed by members who delay committing to dates, accommodations, and transportation until weeks or days before departure. Proactive travelers who book early are then forced to pay more to stay near last-minute bookers, change their own plans, lose work time, or end up in inconvenient housing. Existing planning tools lack commitment deadlines, shared decision-making accountability, or conflict resolution, leaving this as a major unsolved source of stress and financial strain in group travel.
