Better Health for All
0
Travelzoo's core business of publishing travel and entertainment deals does not directly involve health products or services, thus many health-related KPIs are not applicable. The company's offerings, particularly wellness experiences, spa breaks, and digital detox retreats, are presented as having substantial positive impacts on mental, physical, and spiritual health.
1
A survey of over 10,000 members in April 2019 revealed that 83% believe holidays positively affect mental health, and 70% were incorporating wellness activities into their 2019 travel plans.
2
This indicates a strategic focus on health-positive impact through its curated deals. Digital detoxes and wellness travel are also promoted as preventative measures against stress and negative technology impacts.
3
However, the company's direct mental health initiatives, such as meditation or mind spa during lunch breaks, are limited to its employees and do not extend to its 28 million members or the general public, indicating a narrow scope of impact for its own programs.
