accommodation search platform, today announced the US and UK launch of 
https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=_BpD6Tis_Aag1RnePaPFSBhYTIb4RUA_ZFA3i4yxybASyq2cz8HN9Yo-DqtJEk5VMhFmgnLH1fAfwmFuAGUCkSvTETjGpLLxg7ZMRR8uQdM= 
trivago Weekend, a brand-new way for users to discover weekend getaways 
close to home. Weekend, which provides curated content to help 
travellers find great deals on accommodation and experiences on and near 
their doorstep, is now available to travellers in the US and UK. 
 
   Weekend highlights close-to-home adventures and experiences in direct 
response to the travel restrictions caused by the pandemic. The product 
taps into the need for experiential, memory-making trips coveted by 
modern travellers. The launch in the US and UK has been timed to make 
the most of lockdown restrictions easing across the country and the 
reported uptake in domestic breaks this summer. 
 
   "With the pandemic placing restrictions on travel, many of us have 
become aware of some of the incredible destinations and activities 
available on our doorstep," says Axel Hefer, CEO. "To help users 
understand the potential of their surrounding area, trivago Weekend 
provides travellers with ideas for those exciting nearby getaways. In 
addition to helping users find amazing deals on accommodations, we want 
trivago to become a source of inspiration for weekend getaways, both 
planned and spontaneous." 
 
   trivago users in the US and UK will be able to click onto Weekend via 
the homepage and set a search radius of 100-200 miles from their 
location, with the results showing both deals on accommodations and 
recommendations of attractions and things to do in the destination area. 
The platform can be searched by location, dates for travel and number of 
rooms/guests, so that travellers can tailor the perfect getaway to their 
needs. The search results give accommodation options, with suggestions 
of nearby attractions and points of interest for inspiration and 
planning. 
 
   The product is expected to be rolled out to select markets throughout 
the year. 
 
   The launch follows trivago's acquisition of weekend.com in January. The 
company has since integrated weekend.com

's content, focused on inspirational weekend getaway packages, into its 
own platform. 
 
   Recent research from trivago reveals that activities and hobbies are 
increasingly important in choosing breaks and getaways: 'discovering new 
things' was the number one travel inspiration for British consumers, and 
of those who have picked up a new hobby during the pandemic (56%), more 
than half (54%) say that it's at least somewhat likely that they will 
pick a trip connected to a new hobby once the pandemic ends.
