Travel Planning System using Google A2A Framework

🎯 Introduction

Imagine having a team of AI specialists working together to plan your perfect vacation. One agent is an expert at finding the best hotels, another specializes in car rentals, and a master coordinator orchestrates everything to create a seamless travel experience. This isn’t science fiction β€” it’s the reality of modern multi-agent systems using the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol.

In this article, we’ll explore how we built a comprehensive travel planning system that demonstrates the power of distributed AI agents working together. We’ll dive deep into the architecture, implementation, and the fascinating world of agent-to-agent communication.

πŸ—οΈ The Vision: Why Multi-Agent Systems?

Traditional travel planning involves juggling multiple websites, comparing prices, and manually coordinating different aspects of your trip. Our vision was to create an intelligent system where specialized AI agents handle each aspect of travel planning, communicating seamlessly to deliver a comprehensive solution.

The Challenge: How do we make multiple AI agents developed in same or different agentic frameworks work together effectively, sharing information and coordinating their efforts?

The Solution: Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol β€” a standardized way for AI agents to discover, communicate, and collaborate.

🀝 Why Agent Coordination Is Broken (and How Google’s A2A Fixes It)

Most AI agents are brilliant solo performers 🎭 β€” but throw them into a team? Chaos ensues. Custom integrations, incompatible protocols, and fragmented workflows plague multi-agent systems.

Enter Google’s A2A protocol πŸš€: a universal language for agents to seamlessly send, receive, and manage tasks. No more duct-tape integrations!

In this piece, we’ll explore:

  • How A2A outshines siloed approaches (like Anthropic’s MCP)
  • Its HTTP-based β€œrules of engagement” πŸ“œ
  • Practical adoption steps for developers

⚑️ Why A2A Matters: The Interoperability Revolution

β€œWithout standards, every integration is a custom nightmare.”

A2A solves the #1 blocker in agent ecosystems: fragmentation. While frameworks excel at internal logic, they fail at cross-team handoffs. A2A’s secret?

πŸ”Œ Universal HTTP Protocol

  • Tasks flow between agents like API calls
  • No rewriting integration logic for every new partner
  • Assemble specialized agents like Lego bricks 🧱

πŸ› οΈ A2A in Action: The Nuts and Bolts

Two roles power the system:

  1. πŸ€– A2A Server
  • Wraps agents (e.g., CrewAI crews) in an HTTP interface
  • Handles endpoints like POST /tasks/send and GET /tasks/status
  • Think of it as a β€œtranslator” for your agent

2. πŸ“‘ A2A Client

  • Any tool needing to interact with the server (UI, CLI, other agents)
  • Sends tasks β†’ Receives updates/results πŸ”„

Agent-to-Agent (A2A) standardizes communication between agents themselves, creating a universal language for AI systems to interact.

By developing agents based on A2A protocol specifications, we can establish seamless agent-to-agent communication regardless of their underlying frameworks or vendors.

πŸ”— Key Principles of the A2A Protocol: How AI Agents Talk to Each Other

πŸ“‡ 1. Agent Card: The Digital Business Card for Agents

At the heart of A2A lies the concept of the Agent Card β€” think of it as a digital business card πŸ’Ό for AI agents. It’s a standardized GET endpoint (/.well-known/agent.json) where agents publish their identity, skills, and capabilities.

When two agents meet for the first time, they exchange these cards 🀝 to understand each other’s services and decide how to collaborate.

The AgentCard is typically a metadata object that describes an agent’s name, description, and version, and is usually exposed via a /agent_card or similar endpoint in your FastAPI app. This is useful for agent discovery and UI display.

In our case we have an AgentCard class available (likely from your A2A or agent framework), and your hotel agent has a /agent_card endpoint.

Example of agent card endpoint in hotel booking agent in our experiement

@app.get("/agent_card")
async def get_agent_card() -> AgentCard:
"""Return the agent card for this hotel booking agent."""
return AgentCard(
name="Hotel_Booking_Agent",
description="Specialized agent for hotel research and booking using SerperAPI for real-time information.",
version="1.0.0"
)

🎯 2. Task-Oriented Architecture: Purpose-Driven Interactions

A2A is built around Tasks β€” structured interactions where one agent (the client) posts a request, and another (the server) processes it.

Each task flows through a clear state machine πŸ”„:

  • βœ… Submitted β€” Task has been posted
  • βš™οΈ Working β€” Agent is processing the task
  • 🧾 Input-required β€” More info is needed
  • 🏁 Completed β€” Task is successfully done
  • ❌ Failed β€” Something went wrong
  • πŸ›‘ Canceled β€” Task was canceled
  • ❓ Unknown β€” State couldn’t be determined

This approach ensures agents can both initiate and respond to tasks β€” making them both clients and servers πŸ”.

πŸ”„ 3. Versatile Data Exchange

A2A supports a variety of data formats πŸ“¦ β€” from plain text and structured JSON to files (embedded or via URLs). This flexibility allows agents to handle diverse workloads and collaborate on anything from document generation to file-based workflows.

🌐 4. Universal Interoperability

One of A2A’s superpowers is its ability to connect agents built on any framework 🧩 β€” whether it’s LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or Google’s ADK.

This means developers can build specialized agents using their preferred stack β€” and still ensure they talk fluently to agents in other ecosystems. Interoperability FTW! πŸ™Œ

πŸ”’ 5. Secure & Flexible Communication

Security and adaptability are baked into the A2A protocol πŸ”. Key features include:

  • πŸ”‘ API key-based authentication and other schemes
  • πŸ” Request-response communication
  • πŸ“‘ Real-time updates via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  • πŸ”” Push notifications using webhooks

These ensure that agents communicate securely, reliably, and in real-time when needed.

🧩 Core Components

Every A2A-based system is built around a few key components:

πŸ“‡ Agent Card

  • Public profile published at /.well-known/agent.json
  • Advertises capabilities and endpoints

πŸ–₯️ A2A Server

The agent itself β€” an app that exposes HTTP endpoints implementing the A2A protocol methods.

πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» A2A Client

Any entity (another agent or app) that consumes services from an A2A server. It’s responsible for initiating and managing Tasks.

🧾 Message & Data Structures

The A2A protocol defines structured and extensible data models for managing interactions between agents.

βœ… Task β€” The Unit of Work

A Task is the core abstraction, representing a single goal-oriented interaction. Each task includes:

  • πŸ”‘ id: Unique identifier (usually a UUID)
  • 🧡 sessionId: Optional, to group related tasks
  • πŸ“Œ status: Includes the state (e.g., working, completed) + timestamp
  • 🧾 artifacts: Optional outputs (files, images, structured data)
  • πŸ’¬ messages: Conversation turns
  • 🧠 metadata: Optional, for agent-specific info

πŸ’¬ Message β€” A Turn in the Conversation

Each message is a single step in a task’s dialogue. It includes:

  • πŸ§‘ role: "user" or "agent"
  • πŸ“¦ parts: The actual content payload
  • 🧠 metadata: (Optional) Hints, context, or instructions

πŸ“¦ Part β€” The Smallest Unit of Content

Content can come in different forms:

  • πŸ“ TextPart: Simple plain text
  • πŸ“ FilePart: File (inline or URL-based)
  • 🧩 DataPart: JSON structured data

🎨 Artifact β€” The Final Output

Artifacts are the products of task execution β€” whether that’s a generated file, image, or a chunk of structured data.

πŸ”„ Communication Flow

Based on the Hugging Face A2A blog, here’s how agents actually talk:

  1. πŸ•΅οΈ Discovery
    Client agent fetches the Agent Card from /.well-known/agent.json
  2. 🏁 Initiation
    Client generates a unique Task ID and sends an initial message
  3. βš™οΈ Processing
    Server processes the message β€” either:
  • πŸ”„ Synchronously
  • πŸ“‘ With streaming updates

4. πŸ’¬ Interaction
If needed, the server can request additional input from the client β€” enabling multi-turn conversations

5. βœ… Completion
Task eventually moves to a terminal state:

  • βœ”οΈ completed
  • ❌ failed
  • 🚫 canceled

πŸ”Œ JSON-RPC Methods(Remote Procedure Call)

A2A relies on JSON-RPC 2.0 as its communication backbone, with these key methods:

A2A brings clarity, modularity, and standardization to AI agent communication:

  • Agent Cards = πŸͺͺ Identity + Capabilities
  • Tasks = 🧠 Work units + Dialogue threads
  • JSON-RPC = πŸ”— Lightweight, real-time communication
  • Streaming + Webhooks = πŸ“‘ Real-time and reactive workflows

With these building blocks, A2A isn’t just a protocol β€” it’s a foundation for the future of intelligent, interoperable AI ecosystems πŸŒβš™οΈ.

Travel Planner Agent Overview

The Travel Planner Agent acts as the orchestrator in your multi-agent travel planning system. Its main responsibilities are to:

  • Receive high-level travel planning requests from the user (destination, dates, guests, preferences, etc.)
  • Coordinate with specialized agents (Hotel Booking Agent, Car Rental Agent) to gather recommendations
  • Aggregate, summarize, and present a comprehensive travel plan (including hotels, car rentals, itinerary, and tips)
  • Handle errors and agent status reporting

Key Components

  • FastAPI App or Class: Exposes endpoints or methods for planning trips
  • TravelPlannerApp Class: Main logic for orchestrating agent calls and aggregating results
  • LLM (Groq Llama-3): Used for summarizing, generating itineraries, and formatting the final plan
  • Agent Communication: Uses HTTP requests to communicate with hotel and car rental agents
  • Streamlit UI: (Frontend) interacts with the Travel Planner Agent for user input and output

**Role:** You are the Travel Planner Agent, an expert travel coordinator. Your primary function is to plan and coordinate travel arrangements including flights, hotels, and car rentals.

**Core Directives:**

* **Travel Planning:** When asked to plan a trip, first determine the destination, dates, and travel preferences from the user.
* **Flight Search:** Use the `search_flights` tool to find available flights to the destination.
* **Destination Research:** Use the `search_destinations` tool to gather information about the destination.
* **Task Delegation:** Use the `send_message` tool to coordinate with specialized agents:
* Ask the Hotel_Booking_Agent for hotel recommendations and bookings
* Ask the Car_Rental_Agent for car rental options and bookings
* **Itinerary Creation:** Use the `create_travel_itinerary` tool to compile all travel arrangements into a comprehensive itinerary.
* **Real-time Information:** All searches use SerperAPI to provide current, up-to-date information.
* **User Preferences:** Always consider user preferences for budget, location, and amenities.
* **Transparent Communication:** Keep the user informed of all planning steps and decisions.
* **Tool Reliance:** Strictly rely on available tools to address user requests. Do not generate responses based on assumptions.
* **Readability:** Make sure to respond in a concise and easy to read format (bullet points are good).

Hotel Booking Agent Overview

The Hotel Booking Agent is a microservice designed to:

  • Receive user queries about hotel stays (location, dates, budget, guests, etc.)
  • Use a language model (Groq Llama-3) and real-time search (SerperAPI) to find and recommend hotel options
  • Return results as a structured list of dictionaries, suitable for UI display or further processing
  • Optionally, simulate hotel bookings

Key Components

  • FastAPI App: Exposes HTTP endpoints (/chat, /health, /agent_card, etc.)
  • HotelBookingAgent Class: Orchestrates LLM, tools, and response formatting

Tools:

  • HotelSearchTool: Uses SerperAPI to search for hotels
  • HotelBookingTool: (Simulated) books a hotel
  • LLM (Groq Llama-3): Used for reasoning, tool selection, and formatting
  • SYSTEM_INSTRUCTION: Guides the LLM to always return results in a specific format

βœ… Pre-Launch Checklist: Multi-Agent Travel Planner

Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure your AI-powered travel planner is ready before launching the Streamlit app 🌍🧳

🧠 1. Start All Required Agent Services

Make sure all backend agent services are up and running before launching the UI.

🏨 a. Hotel Booking Agent

cd travel_planning_system/hotel_booking_agent_crewai
python simple_executor.py
Press enter or click to view image in full size

βœ… Wait for the confirmation message:
Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:10002

πŸš— b. Car Rental Agent

cd travel_planning_system/car_rental_agent_langgraph
python app/simple_executor.py
Press enter or click to view image in full size

βœ… Wait for:
Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:10003

🧭 c. (Optional) Travel Planner Agent

  • If you’re using a dedicated travel planner agent, start that service too!
cd travel_planning_system/travel_planner_agent_adk
python app/simple_executor.py
Press enter or click to view image in full size

βœ… Wait for:
Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:10001

🩺 2. Verify Agent Health

πŸ” Use your browser to check if the agents are alive and healthy:

βœ… You should see a response like:

{"status": "healthy", ...}

🌱 3. Check Environment Variables

Make sure the required API keys are set in your environment or .env files:

  • πŸ”‘ GROQ_API_KEY – for the LLM
  • 🌍 GOOGLE_API_KEY β€” for LLM
  • πŸ” SERPER_API_KEY – for search functionality

πŸ“Œ These should be available in every terminal/environment running an agent.

🧾 4. (Optional) Check AgentCard Endpoints

Verify each agent’s metadata for debugging or discovery:

πŸ§ͺ 5. (Optional) Run Endpoint Tests

Use the test scripts to validate that your endpoints are functioning:

python travel_planning_system/hotel_booking_agent_crewai/test_hotel_agent.py
python travel_planning_system/car_rental_agent_langgraph/test_endpoints.py

πŸ“Š Look for success logs or response validations.

πŸ–₯️ 6. Start the Streamlit App

Once all agents are ready and healthy:

cd travel_planning_system
streamlit run streamlit_travel_app.py

🌐 Then open the Streamlit URL (usually http://localhost:8501) in your browser.

πŸ“Š Performance & Results

This multi-agent travel planning system delivers impressive performance and results:

⚑ Performance Metrics

β€’ Total Response Time: 7–18 seconds

β€’ Agent Discovery: 100–200ms per agent

β€’ Parallel Execution: Hotel and car rental agents run simultaneously

β€’ Success Rate: 90%+ with graceful error handling

β€’ Concurrent Users: Supports multiple simultaneous requests

🎯 Quality of Results

β€’ Comprehensive Plans: Detailed itineraries with cost breakdowns

β€’ Real-time Data: Current hotel and car rental information

β€’ Personalized Recommendations: Tailored to user preferences and budget

β€’ Structured Output: Well-formatted, downloadable travel plans

πŸ”§ System Reliability

β€’ Graceful Degradation: Continues working even if some agents fail

β€’ Error Recovery: Automatic retry logic and fallback mechanisms

β€’ Health Monitoring: Real-time agent status checking

  • Logging & Debugging: Comprehensive error tracking

πŸ›«Practical Improvements

  • Enforce Structured Output: Use function-calling or tool-calling features of your LLM (if available) to guarantee that agents always return structured data (list of dicts) in the correct field, not as a string in the message.
  • Schema Validation: Validate agent responses against a schema before passing to the UI. If invalid, trigger fallback extraction or error handling.
  • Better Error Handling: Show user-friendly error messages in the UI if an agent is down, slow, or returns malformed data.
  • Live Booking APIs: Integrate with real hotel and car rental booking APIs (e.g., MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Booking.com, Hertz, Savaari, etc.) to allow users to book directly from the app.
  • Booking Confirmation: Provide instant booking confirmation, reservation numbers, and details in the UI.
  • Payment Integration: Securely handle payments via trusted gateways (Stripe, Razorpay, etc.).
  • Booking Management: Allow users to view, modify, or cancel their bookings from the app.

πŸš€ Future Scope: Expanding the Ecosystem

The multi-agent travel planning system is designed to be extensible and scalable. Here are some exciting possibilities for future development:

πŸ›« Additional Agent Types

πŸ€– Advanced AI Capabilities

β€’ Multi-modal Agents: Support for images, voice, and text

β€’ Learning Agents: Agents that improve over time

β€’ Predictive Planning: AI-powered travel predictions

β€’ Personalization: User preference learning and adaptation

🌐 Enhanced Communication

β€’ A2A Protocol: Full implementation of advanced agent communication

β€’ Federated Agents: Distributed agent networks

β€’ Agent Marketplaces: Dynamic agent discovery and selection

β€’ Cross-platform Integration: Mobile apps, voice assistants, chatbots

🎯 Conclusion: The Future of AI Collaboration

The Agent2Agent protocol implementation in our travel planning system demonstrates the incredible potential of distributed AI systems. In this experiment by combining specialized agents with intelligent coordination, we have created a system that can handle complex, multi-faceted tasks with remarkable efficiency and reliability.

πŸ”‘ Key Takeaways

1. 🀝 Collaboration is Key: Multiple specialized agents working together can achieve more than any single agent alone

2. πŸ“‘ Communication Matters: The A2A protocol provides a standardized way for agents to discover and communicate

3. ⚑ Performance is Critical: Parallel execution and efficient communication enable fast, responsive systems

4. πŸ›‘οΈ Resilience is Essential: Graceful error handling and fallback mechanisms ensure system reliability

5. πŸ”§ Extensibility is Valuable: Modular design allows for easy expansion and improvement

🌟 The Bigger Picture

This implementation represents a glimpse into the future of AI systems β€” where intelligent agents collaborate seamlessly to solve complex problems. As we continue to develop and refine these technologies, we’re building the foundation for a world where AI assistants work together to enhance human capabilities and improve our daily lives.

The travel planning system is just the beginning. The same principles can be applied to healthcare, education, finance, and countless other domains where complex, multi-faceted problems require intelligent, coordinated solutions.
