AH&LA Offers .travel Domain For Members

This industry-sponsored and industry-restricted domain offers AH&LA members enhanced access between consumers and suppliers, and more.

Only legitimate travel organizations will be allowed to use the .travel domain name, ensuring those names are seen as a more secure place to do business on the Internet and virtually reduce problems such as trademark infringement and cyber squatting. In addition, a .travel name registration also provides for a listing in the industry-exclusive directory of travel products and services. The .travel directory provides AH&LA members, as well as consumers, with a precision search tool that is designed to drive traffic to their business.

'This new one-of-a-kind domain is a powerful marketing tool and will provide AH&LA members with the opportunity to expand their outreach and to capitalize on the power of the Internet as a sales tool,' said AH&LA President and CEO Joseph A. McInerney, CHA.

The pre-authentication and pre-registration period is through August 26. For more information on '.travel,' visit www.ahla.com/travel_info.asp or contact Mike Chmura, vice president of new business development, at mchmura@ei-ahla.org or (407) 999-8106.
