Zarpo operates as an online travel agency in Brazil, positioning itself as a members-only club for curated travel experiences. Founded in 2011 by French entrepreneurs Alexis Manach, Eloi Dechery, and Brazilian Numa Sales de Paiva, the São Paulo-based company was established to bring a flash-sales model to the Latin American travel market. This model focuses on offering a limited, hand-picked selection of high-quality hotels and resorts at negotiated discount rates, reportedly between 20% and 50% for its members.

The company's business model is centered on a membership-based platform, which allows users to access exclusive deals on accommodations and travel packages that often include flights and premium services. Revenue is generated through the sale of these curated travel packages. In July 2023, the company was acquired by Bancorbrás, marking a significant milestone in its trajectory. Before the acquisition, Zarpo had secured funding from institutional investors, including Rockaway Capital and KPTL.

Targeting the end consumer for over a decade, Zarpo has expanded its operations into the B2B2C market with the launch of Zarpo Connect. This initiative provides the company's technology, supplier relationships, and customer service infrastructure as a white-label or API solution for other businesses wanting to add a travel vertical to their own websites. This service allows partners to offer a customized travel platform with a specific layout, content, and deals, effectively making Zarpo a service provider that distributes its core product through other brands.
