January 30, 2006 – Tralliance Corporation, the .travel registry responsible for administering the domain, announced that more than 16,000 .travel domains have been registered in the 16 weeks since the domain was launched. Included in those registering are such top travel companies as British Airways, Expedia, Fairmont, Kruger National Park, TUI, Raffles Hotels, Marriott, Carnival and Disney.

Tralliance hosted industry leaders over the weekend to celebrate the launch of the .travel domain.

"The .travel registry is now open and we are inviting all of the world’s travel related businesses to claim their space on the Internet," Trialliance President Ron Andruff said.
