The World Travel Organization, along with a consortium of travel industry bodies representing a broad cross-section of the industry, has been communicating with members and disseminating news about the priority rights since phase one of the project began in July of 2005.

De Villiers underscored that nations should act immediately to preserve their place names. "The new .travel Internet domain will change the way business is conducted across the entire travel and tourism industry," he said. "We have worked diligently to communicate the critical nature of the place names deadline to our members, but the time to act is now."

"The .travel domain will help fuel consumer confidence and exponentially increase on-line travel purchasing. Nations now have a standard process for protecting their place names and each nation has a responsibility to help our industry put an end to cyber-squatting and identity infringement," de Villiers said.
