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

NEC, which has the highest share of Japan's consumer PC market, is planning to
drive tablet shipments to similar scale as PC shipments and
increase penetration of tablet products in Japan in 2020.
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. That's why Travelzoo has been
selected as travel deals provider by NECPC, and the Travelzoo app
will be pre-installed on new NEC tablet products so that consumers
can enjoy unbeatable deals in the most efficient way. Through this
partnership, Travelzoo will be able to reach more consumers
directly, which provides a great opportunity to grow its member
base in Japan.

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."
