New .travel Domain Debuts, Controversy Ensues

Tralliance Corp. began accepting registration for .travel domain names yesterday, but only to the “global travel and tourism community,” the AP’s Anick Jesdanun reports. Translation: No individual travelers allowed, unless they’re selling travel services.
“Practical Nomad” author Edward Hasbrouck, who had been leading an effort to stay the debut of the .travel domain pending an independent review of the rules, criticized the development. “The domain appears to exclude the participation of the largest class of people who use the Internet to travel — people who use the Internet to post their travel stories and photos and all sorts of things,” Hasbrouck told Jesdanun.
