Travel industry to have its own web address
December 2004
Companies in the travel and tourism industry
are to have their own internet address.
The '.travel' top level domain (TLD), which should
launch in the second quarter of 2005, will provide
a new variation to the continuing demand for new
web addresses.
The global desire for TLDs is strong and there are
about one million new '.com' and '.net'
registrations every month.
'We are creating a unique space for the travel and
tourism industry to conduct better business,' said
Ron Andruff, president and chief executive of the
Tralliance Corporation, the company managing the
roll-out of the .travel domain.
He says there are about 45,000 travel and tourism
web sites that will produce over $150bn in online
transactions this year.
National travel associations will authenticate
potential members and applicants for a .travel
domain will have to be associated to the travel
industry.
