Travelzoo’s Test Booking Centre™ Awarded TÜV Certificate from Germany’s Leading Quality Assessment Organization
Travelzoo (NASDAQ:TZOO), a global Internet media company, today announced that its pan-European Test Booking Centre™ based in Munich has gained the TÜV SÜD certificate for quality management. The high standards that Travelzoo sets for testing offers are now internationally recognized under the DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 standard.
Travelzoo is the only global media company with an in-house Test Booking Centre that is formally recognized by TÜV to test travel offers in its publications, ensuring they are genuine, available and bookable. In 2008, Travelzoo published more than 60,000 outstanding travel offers on its European websites and in its e-mail newsletters. Of these, 13,000 offers were identified by the Test Booking Centre as potentially challenging to book because of price changes, broken web links, difficult-to-use booking engines or sold out dates. The Test Booking Centre informs Travelzoo subscribers of these potential challenges in real time by providing updates and tips on the Travelzoo website.
"We are delighted that TÜV has independently confirmed that Travelzoo rigorously tests offers listed in our publications across Europe,” said Philip Dönhoff, country manager of Travelzoo in Germany. "Our 2 million European subscribers expect that offers we publish should be easy to understand, available, up-to-date and bookable at the quoted price. This is only possible through rigorous test booking.”
A specially trained team tests offers daily according to strictly defined quality standards. If errors or discrepancies are found, online information is immediately updated and travel companies are alerted. Test Booking Centre staff operate in German, English, French and Spanish.
The Munich-based Test Booking Centre was launched in October 2006. Travelzoo has operated an identical Test Booking Centre in Chicago since March 2003, testing offers from Travelzoo’s North American publications.
