travmedia.com: "The .travel Registry, in cooperation with the World Tourism Organization, has affirmed a priority right to the nations of the world to register their respective country, cities, and place names in the .travel Registry.

Each country and city destination, as well as UNESCO Word Heritage Sites, will now be able to register their valuable place names in the .travel Registry, which will commence registrations in the fall of 2005.

The World Tourism Organization (WTO) will communicate this information to its Member States and Organizations within the UN System, such as UNESCO.

The priority right provides individual nations with the ability to register their domain names with the .travel Registry before other legitimate travel or tourism entities, which may share the same names, have access to those names. The prioritization will overcome the frustration felt by governments that characterized earlier Top Level Domain introductions, wherein many nations were pre-empted from registering domain names for their countries, cities, heritage and sacred sites."
