History

In October 1998, Travelzoo founder Ralph Bartel, a former print and television journalist, launched Travelzoo.com with an initial investment of $10,000. In September 2000, Travelzoo published its first Top 20 and e-mailed one million U.S. members. All deals were researched, evaluated and tested by Travelzoo Deal Experts. In December 2003, Travelzoo became publicly traded on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market under the ticker symbol "TZOO".

In April 2004, Travelzoo Inc. announced that the Company's publications had reached over 7.0 million members, a 75% increase over the 4.0 million members Travelzoo counted in April 2003.

On March 31, 2006, Travelzoo Inc. announced that Forbes.com rated the Travelzoo Web site as one of the best Web sites for travel-related information and travel deals.

Travelzoo acquired Travelzoo Asia Pacific in 2015 to take advantage of the region's increased travel growth.
