Tralliance (a portmanteau of "travel alliance") is the registry for the .travel sTLD. .travel is meant exclusively for usage by organizations in the travel and tourism industries.[2]

History[edit | edit source]

On May 5, 2005, ICANN signed a contract with Tralliance to operate .travel. The operating procedures and policies for .travel are different from those of all other current TLDs.[3]

Until February 2008, Tralliance was a publicly traded subsidiary of TheGlobe.com. On Feb. 1, TheGlobe announced that it had sold Tralliance to the privately-held Tralliance Registry Management Company (TRMC),[4] in order to keep the TLD from bankruptcy.[5] Despite the sale, ultimate ownership of the TLD did not change, as Michael Egan, owner and chairman of TheGlobe.com, and Edward Cespedes, president of Tralliance, together own TRMC.[6] TheGlobe.com is to receive an earn-out equal to 10% of TRMC's net revenue derived from .travel names registered through May 5, 2015.[7]
