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

2025 VisitPoland.com stops working, the domain is redirected to it's owner
PTGV.pl, with a website only in Polish.
