Chris Loughlin, managing director of Travelzoo in Europe commented, "With
over 1.25 million unique users per month, and more than 700,000 weekly
subscribers to the UK edition of the Travelzoo Top 20(R) newsletter, we are
able to offer UK travel advertisers significant, targeted advertising
opportunities to a high quality audience of travel enthusiasts."

Over 500 travel companies have advertised with Travelzoo in the UK in the
last twelve months. Notable advertisers leveraging the Travelzoo website to
announce their very best deals include African Safari Club, British Airways,
Crystal Holidays, Cosmos Holidays, Dream Ticket, Expedia.co.uk, Fast Track
Holidays, Jet2, Flight.co.uk, Flight Centre, Iglu.com, Monarch Airlines,
Olympic Holidays, Pure Holidays, Roomex, ThomasCook.com and Venere.

Travelzoo is unique among online travel publishers in that it does not
accept banner advertising. Travel advertisers may only promote specific sales
and specials on the Travelzoo website that are endorsed by Travelzoo
Producers. Travelzoo's worldwide team of producers research and fact check
each offer to confirm their true value before offering an endorsement. Offers
on the UK web site are also checked for availability by Travelzoo's Munich
based European Test Booking Centre(TM). This process leads to higher quality
content for Internet users and stronger conversions for advertisers.

In March 2007, The Times listed the Travelzoo website as one of the best
websites in the UK for holidays.
