Who we are
Scoobit.com is an industry-specific search engine.
The objective of Scoobit.com is to bring order to online searching by organizing it into industries and limiting it to a given search radius. All Scoobit.com searches are strictly related to a specific sector. Each search category will include only results that are closely related to it, so that a search within the category "hotels" will only find hotels.
A feature that makes Scoobit.com even more useful and effective is the "search radius", which allows you to search for a given thing within a radius of up to 20km from a preset point. For example, you can search for a hotel within 3km of your current location if, for example, you are unfamiliar with the area, or from a position you expect to find yourself in in the future.
With Scoobit.com, searches can be done in a variety of languages, making it possible for everyone to understand the search results. This is a huge step forward for the tourism industry, for which language is a significant barrier. Until now, if someone in China wanted to find a hotel in, say, Rome, Florence or Milan, they would have found it quite difficult to understand what was written on the sites of many of the hotels without having at least a fair knowledge of English. But with Scoobit.com, this will no longer be a problem, because all Italian hotels, even those in smaller Italian towns, will include presentations in Italian, English, and Chinese. In this way, any Italian hotel, even without paying a single euro in advertising, finally has an effective means of attracting Chinese tourists, who, in the years to come, will represent the largest market for the Italian hotel industry. Scoobit.com will also be increasing the number of languages available, so that users around the world will find it easier to view our content, thereby opening the doors that still block the way for too many people that want to understand the results of their online searches.
All of this naturally applies to other countries, as well, because at Scoobit.com we are working hard to offer our services in all of the world's leading countries, beginning with those that are experiencing the greatest economic growth, such as China and India. Soon it will be possible for someone in Europe or the U.S. to search for a hotel in China with the same ease with which this can now be done in Italy, which will help Scoobit.com to eventually become a leading point of reference for global tourism and all other industries, as well.
The project's philosophy is based on one key desire: to give everyone the freedom they need to find whatever they need within a given search category. To give a practical example, say you want to find a hotel in Rome within 1km of the train station. With Scoobit.com, you will find not just the hotels that have paid for greater visibility, but every single hotel within that 1km radius. This is just one example of the total freedom Scoobit.com provides, not just in finding a hotel or other service covered by Scoobit.com within your search radius, but above all the freedom to choose who to contact, without being forced to choose one because you haven't been told of another. So it will be easy to find a vast array of results, and Scoobit.com leaves you free to choose the service that best meets your needs and desires.
Another tourism-related service that will be provided soon is the ability to find not just the hotels in a given area, but also other related services in that area. So if you're looking for a hotel in Rome, near the Coliseum, you will also automatically be provided with a list of all points of interest or related services, such as trains, subways, airports, museums, and more. All of this will make it faster and easier to get around and help you to better enjoy your stay in an unfamiliar place.
Scoobit.com has also made it possible to access our search engine using your mobile phone, making the service even more helpful when you find yourself in an unfamiliar place and need to find, both quickly and easily, a hotel or other service we cover.
