aquired by the Vindheim domain collection
from Norway

Instead of providing relevant content
or giving the possibility
to aquire the domains,
VisitCelle.com
and hundreds of other Visit Domains
were part of a "Spam Linkfarm"
with messy, irrelevant information
polluting the web.

All over Europe
the Vindheim Portfolio
blocked the development of
Tourist Information.
Hundreds of tourist boards
could not get their matching
"visit domains".

The Vindheim portfolio
also including thousands
of "trash domains"
with poor names
like visit2germany.com
or less popular TLDs
like .biz or .tv
At it's peak the portfolio
reached around 13.000 domains.

Tourist Info website

by Steve Jobs.
The new iphone keyborad

Sahrah Hecken

of Tourism Promotion.

2014 Registration
of the hyphenated domain
Visit-Mannheim.com

2017 - 2018
Collapse of the Vindheim Portfolio
including VisitMannheim.com
Under the burdon
of higher and higher renewal charges
and no revenues generated
by the poorly used internet domains
most of the valuable
visit domains lapse.
Only a few domains remain
in the portfolio.

2017
The MannheimTourist Boards
does not notice that
visitMannheim.com
becoes available again.
Instead the domain
was taken by
the US company HugeDomains,
this happened
between mars and september 2017
