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.
