Register a domain in the .TRAVEL domain zone

The domain TRAVEL belongs to the international top-level domains and was founded in 2005. GTld domains are global international name zones united by common features. In recent years, highly specialized domain zones for recognizable names with a pronounced professional affiliation have appeared. The .Travel zone appeared as a unifying name for travel agencies, hotels, and tour organizers. The approving corporation is ICANN, the rationale was prepared by The Travel Partnership Corp.

Any organization can register the domain travel, providing documents of involvement in tourism or the hotel business. Without presenting the appropriate documents travel domain can not be bought, according to the terms of delegation. Documents are sent for verification. After confirmation of the occupation of the company and payment is performed delegation and registration.

What gives a domain name in the zone .TRAVEL

1. Registration in a highly specialized zone gives some credit for the English-speaking segment. Law-abiding citizens believe that if the registration is done, it means that the documents are genuine, the company is reliable.
2. Confirmed domain name gives unlimited opportunities when interacting with foreign tour operators. It is easier to establish business relations, get charters, book a large number of tickets and seats for their clients.
3. Invitations to various seminars and useful meetings for companies - owners of a professional domain come much more often and willingly. It is easier to get preferential booking in other hotels, discounts for traveling.
4. Companies that have confirmed the occupation and received a professional domain are relatively few. You can choose and buy a really beautiful and memorable name.

Possible disadvantages of the domain name

• The price of registration of a professional domain name in the zone .TRAVEL is quite high compared to registration in other zones. Buying a domain is justified if it turned out to find a really good name.
• If in the English-speaking environment and for the educated middle up class, a professional name proves the reliability of the tour operator, for everyone else it is just a long name of 6 letters.
• Some will make the mistake of adding the more familiar regional name .ru, .ua or international .com to the domain name.
• An international domain is harder to promote in regional search - regional sites will be favored. In international search on the contrary, the promotion of the site with a professional name is easier.

Note. Domain in the zone .Travel is not intended for blogs, laying out personal stories about travel. This is a professional highly specialized domain zone.

You can get around the ban on personal stories if you make a separate section for them - opinions, sharing impressions, evaluations and other content. No one prevents you from writing a review of a hotel or travel program. It just should not be the main information of the site, according to the registration rules. But buying a professional domain and blogging about travel is really weird. It is much easier to earn money on a domain by organizing tours.
