TheClub.travel is set to launch in September as a private members’ establishment dedicated to the travel industry

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL- August 17, 2009- Tom Nutley, one of international travel and tourism’s most experienced, innovative, and respected figures, is poised to break new ground - with the help of .travel, the Internet domain name specifically created for the travel and tourism industry.

Over the past three years, Nutley has searched to find a ‘home’ the industry can call its own.  His search is now over as he launches The Travel Club in the heart of London’s West End on September 29.

For 30 years, Nutley has been the man behind creating and expanding an impressive portfolio of regional, sector, and global exhibitions, including Arabian Travel Market, Luxury Travel Market, EIBTM, and the flagship World Travel Market.

“.travel and The Travel Club have a great deal in common,” said Nutley. “Both are helping to provide essential services dedicated to the international travel and tourism industry. Together we will help bind the industry into a more cohesive, more powerful universal movement that has major impact on economy, jobs, and lifestyle worldwide. Together the industry will become stronger and more focused.”

“Through the continuing success of exhibitions, it has been proven that travel business is best conducted face to face,” said Nutley. “However, I always wondered what happens at other times of the year?”

TheClub.travel is that central place where during those other times of the year the travel industry can conduct business in a relaxed, convenient environment, hold meetings, conferences, product launches, socialize, and network.

With its clear branding and global recognition, travel businesses are making the decision to register and implement .travel domain names.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - August 10, 2009- More travel industry destinations and businesses are adopting the .travel domain and witnessing its clear benefits.  With such key industry players as the Ministry of Tourism of Argentina with www.Argentina.travel and the Colombian government with www.Colombia.travel, .travel is showing substantial growth globally and especially in Latin America.

As an industry specific domain name for travel and tourism, .travel is leading the evolution of the Internet into niche information verticals or channels.  Unlike the traditional and generic extensions of .com or .net, .travel is industry specific, thus, providing a clear message and brand security.  Only travel industry professionals can register a .travel domain name.  Each applicant for a .travel name is vetted to be a valid travel entity.  With this security, .travel is a sign of a true travel entity to the end consumer as well as B2B.

As this trust crosses linguistic and physical borders, .travel is globally recognized with destinations such as www.Poland.travel, www.SriLanka.travel, and www.Canada.travel using the .travel channel as their main marketing message.

Recently, both www.Ibiza.travel and www.Yucatan.travel adopted .travel. The web statistics are a clear sign of their success.  In 2008, www.Ibiza.travel received nearly 85,000 visitors.  For 2009, it is predicted to well surpass that number as the first quarter of 2009 had nearly 40,000 visitors.  Likewise, www.Yucatan.travel received over 194,000 visitors to its site.  In 2009, the organization expects to receive roughly 223,000 visitors, which would represent a 20% increase.

Knowing that travelers and the travel business community are looking for more specified information and more quickly, .travel provides this travel channel on the net.  To reap the benefits of .travel and receive more information about .travel, please visit www.travel.travel
