LONDON, NEW YORK and TOKYO, June 28,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Travelzoo® (NASDAQ: TZOO), a global
publisher of exclusive offers and experiences for members, is
celebrating Pride Month with a global campaign to champion equal
access and treatment for everyone when they travel. It is one of a
series of initiatives launched by Travelzoo as part of its Global
Sustainability Campaign, which promotes sustainable and equal
travel solutions.
"We're celebrating something that's always been an important
part of Travelzoo's values—making travel equally accessible to
everyone, including members of LGTBQ+ groups," says Travelzoo CEO
Holger Bartel. "We believe strongly
that a sustainable travel solution should be one that is
open-minded and inclusive."
To celebrate Pride Month with its 28 million members worldwide,
Travelzoo introduced a reimagined logo created by New York City-based artist Darlene Cordero, who is a member of the LGBTQ+
community. Its rainbow colors and prism-inspired design represent
creativity, inclusivity and energy, and marks the first time
Travelzoo has ever modified its logo. The reimagined logo also
commemorates Travelzoo's membership of the International Gay and
Lesbian Travel Association (IGLTA), the world's leading network of
tourism businesses that welcome and embrace the LGBTQ+
community.
Throughout June, Travelzoo has launched a series of
Pride-focused content. In the U.S. and the UK, Travelzoo published
a Travel the Rainbow collection of deals to LGBTQ-friendly
destinations around the globe, as measured by ILGA-Europe's 2019
Rainbow Index. Travelzoo also prepared its comprehensive Pride
Guide to NYC, to help visitors to the city get the most from this
dynamic destination and its exciting Pride celebrations.
Lastly, the campaign also featured Pride-inspired events, such
as Travelzoo's sponsorship of PrideFest NYC, which will feature an
interactive booth on the parade route of the city's high-profile
Pride March on June 30. A charity
sweepstakes in partnership with Omaze in the U.S. is raising funds
for GLAAD. In the UK, Travelzoo has partnered with Gaydio, the UK's
largest LGBTQ+ radio station, sponsoring its Pride events across
the country and offering members comprehensive listings of Pride
events, as well as the chance to win tickets to several of
them.
"Travel holds possibilities for both travelers and the
communities they visit, and one of them is that people can meet and
come to understand each other better," explains Travelzoo CEO
Holger Bartel. "Supporting equal
rights for everyone when they travel will not only help the travel
industry to prosper in the long term, but will also help the
sustainable development of our global community."

treatment for all travelers.
