TOKYO and NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Travelzoo® (NASDAQ: TZOO), a global Internet media company that publishes exclusive offers and experiences for members, has been selected by NEC Personal Computers Limited (NECPC) as its travel deals provider in Japan. The Travelzoo application will be pre-installed on four new LAVIE Tab models to be released today by NECPC: the TE710/KAW, TE708/KAS, TE508/KAS, and TE507/KAS.

Travelzoo is well known for inspiring members to act on their innate curiosity. Travelzoo curates, publishes and recommends irresistible deals. Travelzoo has won many awards for best travel deals provider around the globe.

Through this partnership, Travelzoo will be able to reach more consumers directly, which provides a great opportunity to grow its member base in Japan.
"We are very excited about this partnership with NECPC," said Hajime Suzuki, General Manager of Travelzoo in Japan. "With a pre-installed Travelzoo app on NEC's new tablet products, consumers will be able to access travel deals from thousands of suppliers selected by Travelzoo the minute they turn on their new NEC tablets. Given NECPC's market-leader position in Japan's personal electronics sector, this partnership will also further increase our brand awareness and consumer reach in Japan."
The app includes Travelzoo's famous Top 20®, a weekly list of the country's very best travel deals. Each Top 20 deal is rigorously researched by Travelzoo's global team.
