    I’m developing my first plugin and the shortcode is not rendering the output, instead I get the name of shortcode in square brackets.

    function easyit_travel_shortcode($atts, $content = NULL){

	$atts=shortcode_atts(array(
		'title'=>'Travel List',
		'count'=>10,
		'category'=>'all'
	),$atts);

	if($atts['category']=='all'){
		$terms='';
	}else{
		$terms=array(
			array(
				'taxonomy'=>'category',
				'fiels'	  =>'slug',
				'terms'	  =>$atts['category']	
			)
		);
	}

	$args=array(
	'post_type'=>'travels',
	'post_status'=>'publish',
	'orderby'	=>'due_date',
	'order'		=>'ASC',
	'posts_per_page'=>$atts['count'],
	'tax_query'		=>$terms	
		);

	$travels=new WPQuery($args);
	$output="";

	if($travels->have_posts()){
		$travels->the_post();

		$start_input=get_post_meta($post->ID,'start_input',true);
		$end_input=get_post_meta($post->ID,'end_input',true);
		$datepicker=get_post_meta($post->ID,'datepicker',true);

		$output.="<ul>";
		$output.="<li>".$start_input."</li>";
		$output.="</ul>";
		return $output;
	}
}

add_shortcode('travels','easyit_travel_shortcode');

    I have figured out myself, I have had numerous mistakes.
    Here is the working code.

    function easyit_travel_shortcode($atts, $content = NULL){
	global $post;
	$atts=shortcode_atts(array(
		'title'=>'Travel List',
		'count'=>10,
		'category'=>'all'
	),$atts);

	if($atts['category']=='all'){
		$terms='';
	}else{
		$terms=array(
			array(
				'taxonomy'=>'category',
				'fiels'	  =>'slug',
				'terms'	  =>$atts['category']	
			)
		);
	}

	$args=array(
	'post_type'=>'travels',
	'post_status'=>'publish',
	'orderby'	=>'due_date',
	'order'		=>'ASC',
	'posts_per_page'=>$atts['count'],
	'tax_query'		=>$terms	
		);

	$travels=new WP_Query($args);
	//$output="";

	if($travels->have_posts()){

		while($travels->have_posts()){
		
		$travels->the_post();
		$start_input=get_post_meta($post->ID,'start_input',true);
		$end_input=get_post_meta($post->ID,'end_input',true);
		$datepicker=get_post_meta($post->ID,'datepicker',true);
		ob_start();	?>
		 <ul> 
		 <li> <?php echo $start_input;?> </li>
		 <li> <?php echo $end_input;?> </li>
		 <li> <?php echo $datepicker;?> </li>
		</ul> 
	<?php }
	wp_reset_postdata(); 
	$content=ob_get_clean();
	return $content;
	
}
}

add_shortcode('travels','easyit_travel_shortcode');
