On December 21st the .TRAVEL top level domain was opened to the global public. The price of each registration starts at $99 per domain name per year [that's a lot of money].

Tralliance Corporation entered an agreement with ICANN to manage the .TRAVEL TLD in May of 2005. Tralliance Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of theglobe.com, Inc. Labigroup (Who is owned by Michael Egan, CEO of .Travel) has agreed with theglobe.com, Inc. to buy 25,000 .TRAVEL domain names within the period of one year.

The .Travel domain sale seems like to be in competition with .MOBI top level domain sales, anyone has updates on popularity of .MOBI right now?

Well that is indeed a lot of money to spend on a domain.. however, if your going to buy really good ones such as world.travel \ my.travel \

then i think it would be profitable

I hope I could get a good dot travel domain soon. Anyway, I’m sure that domain squatters will start to park good domains now.

I agree with ChiQ Montes, a decent .travel TLD would be worth $99, however, for general domains it seems a little pricey. It may well put off domainers though!

only can, buy if your company falls into 20 categories established.

$99 seems like a lot of money. I wouldn’t register one unless I could find a popular location.

It will be for some very long domain names, I’ll stick with .com and .co.uk
