History of the website and Tourism Marketing in Saarland

Visit Saarland.co.uk
Domain registration date: 15-07-2009

Timeline

1985 first Internet Domains registered
VB.com/1985

1994 Registation of the domain
Hotels.com 30-03-1994

1995 / 1996 The first Visitor Bureau,
VBs or CVBs start to use the prefix "Visit"

1997 Foundation of TZS
Tourismus Zentrale Saarland a cooperation by the State Saarland and different partners like Airport Saarbruecken
Congress Zentrum Saar different Landkreise
IHK (Industrie un Handelskammer)
ADAC

2006 Registration of VisitSaarland.com by a Norwegian domain investor that blocked hundreds of destinations from getting a Visit domain for more than a decade.

VisitSaarland.com is redirected to irrelevant content and pollutes the web.

2009 Not able to get .com the Saarland Tourist board gets the British domain
VisitSaarland.co.uk as an alternative
Domain registered 15-07-2009

An alternative French version is registered 27-07-2009 visiter-la-sarre.fr not realising that not a single website besed in France / Canadia / Morocco / Benelux uses "visiter"
In French speaking countries it's always "visitdesination" or "desitination-tourisme"

2015 Saarland Tourist board registers a second URL for the German version of the website
Urlaud.saarland registered 13-11-2015

2017 The Norwegian
Domain portfolio collapses.
One by one the domains eclipse
VisitSaarland.com expires

The domain is re-registered not by the Saarland Tourist Board but by an US based domain investor.

The domain is listed for sale for 1.995 usd, but the Saarland Tourist Board continues to communicate with British internet adress
VisitSaarland.co.uk.

The choice of a British Adress for a German state might look surprising.
Using the ccTld of the wrong country is somehow unique.
