Tralliance (a portmanteau of "travel alliance") is the registry for the .travel TLD. .travel 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]
Requirements[edit | edit source]
Registrants must be verified participants in the travel industry. This can include anything from airlines, to public attractions, to ferries, restaurants, and bed & breakfast houses.
Tralliance requires that, when a .travel domain name is registered, a website with relevant content must be put up within one year of registration.[8]
