Trivago: Earn With the Biggest Metasearch Engine for Hotels

About Trivago

Trivago is a large metasearch engine that compares accommodation offers from different booking platforms. The service’s database includes key market players, such as Booking.com, Hotels.com, Agoda, etc. In total, the metasearch engine has access to over five million hotels and other facilities in more than 190 countries worldwide. The website and mobile application are available in 54 languages.

The service was created in 2005 in Dusseldorf by three university friends and, over the last 16 years, has grown from a small startup into a high-tech company with shares listed on the NASDAQ stock market.

One of the service’s features is the Trivago Rating Index (tRI), which is Trivago’s own development. A special algorithm of the rating impartially assesses hotels. tRI is updated on a daily basis for each and every hotel in the database and offers the most relevant information.

Trivago constantly monitors the market situation and develops the product in accordance with the latest trends. Recently, the service launched a new section called “Weekend” on its website, where travelers can find ideas for short-term trips. During the pandemic, such trips are just as relevant as they have ever been.

In April of this year, Trivago announced its collaboration with a TUI tour operator to launch a project dedicated to different kinds of entertainment activities from excursions to event tickets. Thus, the service is planning on becoming more than a hotel metasearch engine.
