Looking Ahead For Q4 2024, we expect growth in revenue year-over-year, albeit at a smaller pace than in 2023. However, there could be unexpected fluctuations. We also expect for Q4 2024 higher profitability year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter. For 2025, we expect substantial growth in revenue as a result of additional revenue from membership fees.

Legacy Travelzoo members as of December 31, 2023 , which represent more than 95% of members, are exempt from the fee during 2024.
