.Travel

The Travel Industry continues to grow from strength to strength each year, its success enabled in recent years primarily by the Internet. The growth of which is still ongoing and the amount of organisations offering services likewise. In response to this expansion, and as a means of differentiating providers of travel and hospitality services from the litany of service providers that exist on the net, the domain .travel has been created.

Reed Travel Exhibitions is leading the way by highlighting the benefits of the domain to existing and new organisations within the industry. In doing so we hope to achieve a high level of industry wide recognition for the unique and diverse products and services on offer from travel and tourism providers.

The World^TM is moving ® to .travel

What on earth is .travel?
.travel is a new web domain established to lift the travel and hospitality industry out of the anonymity of the world-wide-web.

Unlike .com, .net, .org or any of the generic domain names available on the internet today, .travel is designed specifically for the travel and tourism industry, ensuring that all .travel web sites are owned only by bona fide travel related businesses and organisations.

By providing the global travel and tourism community with one universal destination on the internet, the .travel domain improves internet branding and creates an advanced distribution channel through the establishment of a stronger level of trust between consumers and the travel industry.

Who else is doing it?
Join the thousands of travel organisations, such as http://www.canada.travel/ and http://www.budapest.travel/, who have already secured their .travel domain names.

Why should I make the change to .travel?
Registrants of .travel domain names are automatically listed in http://www.directory.travel/, the first centralised, global online directory to help consumers precisely identify providers of travel products and services around the globe.

.travel empowers the travel industry - from the smallest to the largest players - to better promote their products and services within their own industry space on the internet.

The key benefits of owning a .travel domain name include:

• Improved branding and connection with the travel and tourism industry.
• Inclusion in the first global online directory: http://www.directory.travel/
• Prevention of cyber-squatting and domain name speculation due to authentication by an independent third party.
