Discontinued Operation

On March 10, 2020, Travelzoo issued a press release announcing that it will exit its business in Asia Pacific. The decision supports the Company's strategy to focus on value creation for shareholders by focusing on growing the businesses in North America and Europe, where the Company sees strong interest from our members in travel deals.

The Asia Pacific business shut down and ceased operations as of March 31, 2020, except for the Company's Japan unit, which is held for sale. The Company considers this decision to be a strategic shift in its strategy which will have a major effect on its operations. The Company has classified Asia Pacific as discontinued operations at March 31, 2020. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The following table provides a summary of amounts included in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):
