History

Domain registration date : 22-04-1996

VisitNewYork.com is one of four Visit Domains registered all the same day by a private Travel operator.
the Winged Victory company.

It was the first time a private Tour Operator registered a "Visit+destination.com Domain", not only one, but four at the same moment.

Timeline

1980s The US tour operator
Winged Victory company organized educational travel programs, especially language and school trips.

They have taken students from hundreds of high schools, junior high schools and middle schools on educational trips to New York City,
Washington, D.C., Montreal and Quebec City.

4 domains were registered in one shot the same moment all domain are very valuable today

Visit New York.com
Visit Washington.com
Visit Quebec.com

Visit Canada.com

The 4 domains were part of one of the earliest online tourism ventures.

2000s early the websites shifted from a simple tour operator to a more comprehensive tourism portal.

The website partnered with other tourism-related businesses like hotels, restaurants, event ticket vendors to earn affiliate commissions.

2011 VisitNewYork.com becamee part of an ecosystem of independently operated
US Visit websites part of the Associated Visitors Bureaus.com
This ecxosystem also incudes
Visit Boston.com
Visit Key West.com
Visit Miami.com
Visit Phoenix.com already mentionned Visit Quebec.com and Visit Washington.com

2026 Sadly VisitNewYork.com shows a sharp decline in quality.

Today

The official website of the
New York City Tourist Board / NYC & Company, never managed to aquire the hi-profile
VisitNewYork.com domain.

Their website is NYCGO.com (reg 08-03-01) changee in 2023 to NYCtourism.com (reg 13-02-99) has a much less prominent internet domain but a much stonger content.

Visit New Yrok.com roots in the no longer exisitng Educational Tour Operator
Winged Victory company.
It is one of the first
Tourist Information sites using the now so popular "Visit" style.
