Personally speaking, I don't use Foursquare, so I don't know about their explore feature. More importantly, is this something you care about? Focus on an area where you think you can differentiate yourself, and push hard to be the best at that. It would be helpful if you also understood how that area of focus leads to revenue in the future....

foursquare explore feature let's you find places to eat and drink bars around you which directly collide with our idea. And because foursquare has a huge user base it's hard for us i think to compete with them.

What we're thinking is a way like for people to find their destination of the trip get places that area. Invite the friends who'll join the trip an a way to them to discuss about their journey what and what not to do and some other features etc

But you need to register with foursquare to use their feature. I imagine there might be many people who would like this service by itself, not bundled with all the foursquare stuff. I think that before you pivot with your product, you should think if you just need to adjust who are your target customers and if it is feasible to reach them.
