The .travel Top Level Domain Name

As a member of the International Hotel & Restaurant Association (IH&RA), you are entitled to participate in the Pre-Authentication period for a .travel domain name(s). Only businesses and organizations that are part of the travel and tourism industry are entitled to a .travel name. A .travel name will identify you as a verified participant in the travel industry. IH&RA is working with the .travel Registry to review and verify eligibility of our members.

A .travel name registration also provides for a listing in the industry-exclusive directory of travel products and services -- a listing you define and edit, as you will. The .travel Directory provides your fellow industry members, as well as consumers, with a precision search tool that is designed to drive traffic to your business.

If you would like more information about .travel domain names or the .travel Directory, you can find it HERE.

If you would like to Pre-Authenticate your eligibility for a .travel domain name(s) IH&RA will help you. All that’s required is that you complete a short information form and forward us some supporting documents. Just click the secure “Click HERE for authentication” button below, and follow the instructions you find there to fill in the form. IH&RA will review your data and confirm your eligibility based on the information you supply and the membership data we hold.

Once you have been authenticated you will be sent an email which will confirm your eligibility. You will then be able to use the User ID and Password you have chosen when you enter your authentication information to return to review your record and Names List, which is a list of names that you are eligible to apply to register.  The Names List is generated from the information you provide on the authentication form.

Pre-Authentication is a member service without any charge to you at this time. Your .travel name registration fee includes not only the cost of your Pre-Authentication, but also your Directory listing.  Once you are authenticated you will be entitled to Pre-Register any or all of .travel domain name(s) on your Names List, i.e., get into the queue with your selections.  Your credit card will not be charged until such time as the .travel Registry goes “live”, which is anticipated to be on or about September 1, 2005.  As noted in other communications, the overarching policy for registering any .travel domain name is first-come-first-served, therefore we urge you to get authenticated and register your chosen domain name(s) as quickly as possible.
