Introducing Scappa

Human beings are wanderers by nature. Leaving our African birthplace thousands of years ago, we have travelled to and settled in almost every corner of the Earth. In modern times, travel has come to represent discovery, leisure and pleasure.

More and more people aspire to travel around the world, and enticing as it may seem, it throws up several challenges. Where to go? Where to stay? Where to eat? What to see? These are just some of the multitude of questions that spring to mind, making trip planning a daunting task.

Today, thanks to technological innovation, many people who would have otherwise hesitated to travel or depended on a tour operator, dare to do so and go farther than they used to.

What is Scappa ?

Scappa is a platform powered by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the travel domain. Users will interact with Scappa using chat and voice bots.

  • The first bot will enable you to book flights all over the world based on your preferences using simple chat, email or phone. Think of it like your own personal travel agent.
  • The second bot will be your go to travel companion which will provide information on things to do and see, where to eat and stay based on where you are.

About the Scappa Logo

Scappa is a peppy Italian word inviting you to get out, run away, escape and explore the world!

The physical elements of the logo are chosen to denote the ability to move blocks around to configure different possibilities, and to denote that the whole is a sum of parts. We aspire to help you, the traveller, using our technology and our own knowledge of travel which we will encode into the Scappa platform.


Scappa was just born, and we are actively working behind the scenes. Watch this space for more updates soon!
