Timeline
1940 Direccion Nacional de Turismo
(National Directorate of Tourism)
mostly focused on
domestic tourism
1999 Registration of the domain
VisitArgentina.com
by Scott Mc Cormish
14-03-1999
Mc Corwish had an interest
for Tourism related domains
forused on the Naples area
in
South Florida
He did not turn his domains
into important websites.
It is possible that he still
owns the VisitArgentina.com
domain which has become very valuable
and which
has been renewed
every year.
2001 Argentina faces
economic crisis
and discovers Tourism
as a financial ressource
2004 National Tourism Act
or National Tourism Law
decides to create Inprotur
to promote Argentinal
internationally
as a travel destination
2005 Inprotur established
2005 .travel TLD created
with the idea to compete
to the already established .com TLD
The TLD is targeted
on travel related websites.
In the following years
hundreds of other new sTLD
are launched
creating major competition
among new niche TLDs
While .com is recognised all over the world
and ccTlds
like .com.ar or .ar are know
in and beyond
their respective countries (Argentina)
sTLDs
also called sponsored TLDs
are less popular.
There are only 18.000 active .travel domains,
less than 0.01% of all active websites
In recent years countries
like Canada or Morocco
that had registered a .travel domain
made a strategic shift
away from .travel to .com,
prioritizing user familiarity,
SEO benefits,
and broader marketing effectiveness.
