Trivago, the Düsseldorf‑based hotel search platform, posted a 21% rise in second‑quarter revenue to €168.4 million ($196.4 million) after growing roughly 20% the prior year to about $633 million. CEO Johannes Thomas attributes the growth to an AI‑focused strategy, noting that the supervisory board opted to expand impact from 600 employees to a potential 6,000‑person effect rather than downsize.

The company remains profitable despite pandemic setbacks and competition from larger travel aggregators.
