LONDON -

- In Partnership With AOL Travel, Fly.com, Lonely Planet, SimonSeeks, Skyscanner and Visit Britain

Travelzoo (NASDAQ: TZOO), a global Internet media company, today announced the launch of the Travelzoo Network(TM) in the UK. The Network will greatly extend the reach of Travelzoo’s researched and test-booked deals by publishing them on high-profile partners’ websites. The first websites to showcase Travelzoo(R) deals are AOL Travel, Fly.com, Lonely Planet, SimonSeeks, Skyscanner and Visit Britain.

The Travelzoo Network in the UK now reaches an average of 50 million page views per month. The UK launch follows a successful rollout in the US, where the Network reaches over 500 million page impressions per month across 150 leading US websites.

“Partnerships with these important organisations and companies are a testament to the quality of Travelzoo’s content. We only publish relevant travel and entertainment deals that are authentic, checked and truly available. Our partners value our commitment to quality deals - that is why they want to be part of this network,” said Melanie Bower, Vice President, Travelzoo Network, Europe.

Justin Reid, Head of Online and CRM at Visit Britain said, “Being part of the Travelzoo Network in the UK gives Visit Britain additional content that our users can use. We particularly like the fact that Travelzoo has access to a wide range of offers from many different travel & entertainment companies and that they quality check the deals before publishing them on our site.”

Travelzoo deals are displayed on partners’ websites based on user origin and destination search criteria or the theme of the partner’s website. This gives users relevant content when searching for travel and entertainment information. For example, recently on AOL Travel’s UK Holidays page, the Travelzoo Network showcased an GBP80 per person stay at the luxurious Fairmont, St. Andrews, including spa treatments.

Travel companies with deals published in the Travelzoo Network include Accor Hotels, Ambassador Tickets, Billy Chicago, bmibaby, The Co-operative Group, Destinology, DFDS Seaways, Economy Car Hire, Expedia.co.uk, Flight Centre, Hilton International, The Holiday Place, Iglu.com, KLM Air France, lastminute.com, Lufthansa, Monarch Airlines, Morgans Hotel Group, Netflights, Marriott UK & Ireland, Mark’s Travel, Opodo, Qwerty Travel, STA Travel, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, and Sol Melia Hotels & Resorts, The Walt Disney Company, Zorro West End.
