Timeline
The Luxembourg Tourist Office
ows it's iconic Visit Luxemburg.com domain
to it's New York based
PR Office of the Grand Duchy
located at
17 Beekman Place, New York
The PR Office noticed the "Visit Trend"
during the early years of the internet.
The domain was registered 11-11-1997
Mrs Frederique Raeynmaekers
from the the Belgium Promotion office
had taken the same decision a
few months earlier
22-07-1997
registering the domain
VisitBelgium.com
Mrs
Raeynmaekers
is very charismatic
so she might have had
an influence on other
people from the Tourist Industry.
1997 A modern internet mystery
happened at the same moment.
The exact same day
11-11-1007
the domain Visit Austria.com
was also registered.
As very few Visit domains existed
at that time,
there is a strong possibility
that the person
that registered VisitAustria.com
had a New York based connection
with the person that registered
VisitLuxemburg.com
But this person that registered VisitAustria.com
was probably
not from the
Austrian
Tourist Representation.
Unlike Luxembourg
and until
today
the Autrian Tourist Board
has never been able to get
the iconic Visit domain.
1998 Launch of the first
VisitLuxembourg.com
website
with the help of the agency
Belimpex System Corp.
1999 Launch from Luxembourg
of a national
Tourism website with the
address Ont.lu
(Office National du Tourisme)
2002 ONT registeres the domain VisitLuxembourg.lu
activated as a website
and today
redirected
to VisitLuxembourg.com
2012 VisitLuxembourg.com
remained the website
of the
Luxembourg
National Tourist Office in the United States
until 2012
2015 ONT.lu
rebranded as VisitLuxembourg.com
05-11-2015
Thus the World's only Grand Duchy
became the home
of a valuable Visit dot com domain.
