'''.tours''' is an active [[TLD]] in [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. [[Donuts]] (Sugar Station, LLC) manages the TLD and is its [[Registry]]. The proposed application succeeded and was delegated to the [[Root Zone]] on 24 March, 2015.<ref name="delegation">[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings Delegated String, ICANN.org] Retrieved 24 Mar 2015</ref> [[Google]] applied for a similar string, [[.tour]].<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/application-results/strings-1200utc-13jun12-en Reveal Day 13 June 2012 – New gTLD Applied-For Strings]</ref> The [[TLD]] reached [[General Availability]] on July 08, 2015. <ref>http://www.instra.com/en/domain-names/newgtld/tours-domain-registration/tours</ref>
===Application Details===
Many of [[Donuts]]' applications, including this one, seem to have been applied for using the same boiler-plate application in which the TLD is defined as a means of providing greater expression on the Internet and will be an open TLD without pre-registration policies. It notes its plans to adhere with all registration policies required by ICANN and its intent to have remediation and takedown policies clearly defined to fit within these requirements. Pre-registration verification will not be used and this as defined as causing "more harm than benefit by denying domain access to legitimate registrants." They intend to control abuse through "extensive user and rights protections."<ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/887 ApplicationDetails, gTLDresult.ICANN.org]Retrieved 12 Dec 2012</ref>
==String Confusion Objection==
[[Google]] submitted a [[String Confusion Objection]] to the International Centre for Dispute Resolution ([[ICDR]]), saying that the [[.tour]] and .tours strings would confuse Internet users. Panelist [[Robert M Nau]] ruled on the side of Google. This decision will put [[Donuts]], the sole applicant for .tours, into a contention set with [[Google]] for the [[.tour]] gTLD.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2013/08/26/nau-strikes-again-google-wins-tours-objection-against-donuts/ Nau Strikes Again, Google Wins .tours Objection Against Donuts, Domain Name Wire] Retrieved 25 Sept 2013</ref>
