The Company generates revenue from advertising and commerce, membership fees, and other sources. Advertising revenue consists primarily of (a) advertising fees paid by travel companies for the publishing of their offers on Travelzoo’s media properties, (b) commissions and revenues generated from the sale of Getaways vouchers and bookings on our hotel platform, and (c) publishing fees from high-quality local businesses, sale of Local Deals vouchers and entertainment offers. We typically recognize advertising revenues upon delivery of emails or clicks, as tracked by our internal platform or third-party platforms.

We recognize a percentage of the face value of vouchers upon the sale of the vouchers, net of an allowance for refunds.
