In February - which was just two months ago - Trivago CEO Axel Hefer noted during the company's latest earnings call that the initial impact from the COVID-19 coronavirus was primarily felt in markets with close ties to China.

In an interview with PhocusWire, Hefer discusses his outlook for travel, how Trivago is preparing for the future and the role of metasearch during the recovery.
