What Escursi.com does

Escursi.com (legal entity Escursì S.r.l.) is a Sassari-based online travel agency and tour operator founded in 2015, specializing in experiential tourism across Sardinia. The company operates a proprietary e-commerce booking platform aggregating over 500 verified local experiences spanning boat trips, trekking, wine and food tours, water sports, archaeology, and cultural excursions. The platform supports five languages (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish), provides real-time availability management, instant booking confirmation, online payment processing, and digital voucher generation, and is complemented by a dedicated supplier portal (fornitori.escursi.com) for inventory and booking management.

Escursi earns revenue primarily through transactional commissions on bookings, supplemented by B2B reseller commissions and the sale of digital Gift Cards (€25–€250). Distribution combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce with a multi-tier reseller program (Reseller Account, White Label, Affiliate, and API/Channel Manager integrations via Bokun) and listings on major OTAs including GetYourGuide, Viator, Civitatis, and TUI Musement. Customer segments span individual leisure tourists (primary), B2B travel partners, schools organizing educational trips, and corporate groups.

Underlying technology is a proprietary booking platform with multi-channel distribution integration; in 2024, AI-based content optimization tools were introduced through the EU-funded e.INS Spoke 6 project to assist suppliers in creating listings. The company is registered with the Sardinia Regional Registry of Travel and Tourism Agencies (Aut. 456 – D.R. 1558/19), holds travel agency insurance, and is a member of Fondo Vacanze Felici (National Guarantee Fund). Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees, and no external equity funding rounds, M&A, or leadership changes are disclosed.

Direct peers

• Civitatis: Madrid-based OTA specializing in tours, activities, and excursions in Spanish-speaking and Mediterranean destinations. Directly overlaps with Escursi on activity aggregation, B2B distribution, and Mediterranean destination coverage.
• Headout: Global last-minute activities and experiences marketplace with strong European presence. Competes with Escursi in the curated activity booking category and pursues a similar multi-channel, supplier-aggregation model.
• Withlocals: Marketplace for local-led tours and authentic experiences across Europe and Asia. Closely comparable to Escursi in curating authentic, supplier-hosted experiences for international travelers.
• GetYourGuide: Global activity and experience booking marketplace headquartered in Zurich. Escursi is both a supplier and a sub-aggregator to GetYourGuide, and competes in the same destination/activity booking category with similar curated-experiences positioning.
• Viator (Tripadvisor): Tripadvisor-owned global tours, attractions, and activities marketplace. Escursi distributes its Sardinia supply through Viator and competes with it for end-customer bookings of the same experiences.
• Peek: North America-rooted activities platform with expanding European supply and a strong supplier-software + distribution model. Comparable to Escursi for its combination of operator tools and multi-channel distribution.
• TUI Musement: TUI Group's tours, activities, and experiences platform with deep European/Mediterranean coverage. Escursi is a supplier to TUI Musement and competes with it for direct consumer bookings of the same experiences.

Broad incumbents

• Booking.com Attractions: Activities and attractions product layered on top of Booking.com's accommodation-led travel platform. Reaches the same end customers as Escursi but as part of a much broader OTA, not a specialist.
• Airbnb Experiences: Airbnb's in-destination experiences product, embedded inside a much larger short-term rental platform. Comparable to Escursi as a global distribution channel for authentic local activities, but backed by Airbnb's scale and brand.

Regional players

• Sardinia.com: Long-standing English-language tourism portal for Sardinia offering accommodations, activities, and editorial content. Competes with Escursi for English-speaking tourists' attention and bookings, but is not an activity-specialist marketplace.
