Travelzoo Award Criteria

In order to determine the 16 Travelzoo Award winners, a committee of travel deal experts examined a collection of offers from over 600 travel companies. After evaluating all of the offers provided by each company in 5 specific areas they arrived at a list of 59 finalist companies that consistently surpassed the rigorous criteria. Specific deals were then debated from a quantitative and qualitative perspective within each category. Award winners consistently achieved top status in every evaluation criteria.

The criteria included:

--- Competitiveness: These companies offered competitive travel deals that were equal to or greater in value when compared to similar offerings in the marketplace. Finalist companies regularly developed deals that inspired Travelzoo users to book trips they did not otherwise plan on taking.

--- Reliability: The deals provided by finalist companies, when test booked by Travelzoo´s Test Booking Center(TM), were found to be easy to book having a low incidence of usability issues. The Test Booking Center compiles thousands of data points each week in order to test online and offline experiences that users can have when booking deals including availability, accuracy of information published and ease of booking.

--- Consistency: All companies consistently provided Travelzoo users with several exceptional offers throughout the past year that inspired incremental travel, based on user feedback and reporting from advertisers.

--- Appeal to travelers: These companies consistently achieved high ratings from Travelzoo users throughout the past year. As a way to improve content offerings, Travelzoo collects user data on how attractive a given deal is to each user. To achieve finalist status, these companies needed to develop deals that scored well among Travelzoo´s users.

--- Quality: All companies provided travel deals so good that Travelzoo staff would recommend booking an offer from these companies to their family and friends.
