Despite facing competition from companies like TripAdvidor, Google, Booking.com, Expedia and Trivago, online travel deals Travelzoo (NASDAQ:TZOO) offers unique offering that makes it eligible to be awarded as the Best Travel Website for Travel Deals at British Travel Awards for 13 consecutive years by millions of UK travelers.
Travelzoo is available globally but most importantly excels in North America and Europe. The key factors that make the overall evaluation for British Travel Awards include customer satisfaction, service quality, reliability, affordability and customer support service. The result reflects trust and satisfaction for Travelzoo in the UK travel market.
And not only in UK, Travelzoo was also ranked the first for travel deals in Germany by the national newspaper Die Welt that involves a large consumer survey that evaluated the same key factors in British Travel Award.
Winning the heart of consumers in one or two areas is a great thing, moreover in the long run it must proves itself to be profitable and efficient.
In the third quarter of 2024 results of Travelzoo, the firm's revenue reduced to 1.93% over the same quarter last year. On the other hand, the competitors were enjoying an average of 14.47% growth in the revenue inthe same period.
The net margin was also lower, at only 16.65%, compared to the average net margin of its peers, which was 25.8% year-over-year, led by Google and Booking.com with 27.74% and 21.85%, respectively.
However, Travelzoo managed its cash very well with cash flow growth rate of 55.4% year-over-year comparedto the industry average of -7.1% within the same period.
Travelzoo has had loyal customers in Europe and especially in the UK for over a decade, bolstered by a strong financial position that helps it thrive. I believe it would be even more appealing if Travelzoo applies better efficiency and has higher margin.
