Timeline
1990 Foundation of the Agency
Polish Travel Quo Vadis
1999 Creation of POT
under the Tourist Services Act,
a law voted 25-06-1999
2000 POT POT oficially
began its activities as
National Tourism Board
2001 Registration of the domain
VisitPoland.com
04-11-2001
VisitPoland.com listed for sale
by MyDomains.com
2003 VisitPoland.com
aquired by HotelBroker.pl
VisitPoland.com turns into
a Hotel reservation Portal
2005 Some Business people
launch of the extension .travel
with the idea to create an alternative
to .com
In the following years
hundreds of other new sTLD
are launched
with the result
that .com becomes
"the one and only"
TLD
used by pratically 100%
of all international Brands
While .com is recognised all over the world
and ccTlds
like .pl are know
in and beyond
their respective countries (Poland)
sTLDs
also called sponsored TLDs
like .lifestyle, .shop, .travel etc etc
are much less popular.
Today there are only 18.000 active .travel domains,
less than 0.01% of all active websites
The website of the
Polish Tourist bord creates
confusion
as many tourists
can't remember the URL
and confuse it with .com
while
Poland.com
is an inactive domain
What is adding to the confusion
is the fact that versions
in other languages
all use different Urls
like Polska.travel
Polen.travel
Pologne.travel
Polscha.travel
Polin.travel
Expensive renewal
cost for .travel domains
- about 10 times higher than for a .com -
add to the fact that .travel
have not become
a well recognized domain format.
2020 World affected by Corona
VisitPoland.com
continues as an English and Chineese
speaking Tourism website
2025 VisitPoland.com
stops working,
the domain is redirected
