The .travel
Directory is designed to precisely match
the travel products and services of authenticated
.travel registrants with
consumers, worldwide.
The Directory can expeditiously
return results regarding any .travel
registrant’s offerings as a result
of two key aspects:
- the Directory is not
an Internet search engine that scans the
World Wide Web for information; rather
it is “a utility” that retrieves
information from an aggregated, classified
data set; and
- the basis of the Directory
is a controlled vocabulary, i.e., it utilizes
a taxonomy (or classified list) of over
1800 travel and tourism terms. This uniform
language enables the functionality of
the Directory.
Users will access the Directory
via the Tralliance web site, or by typing
www.directory.travel
into their web browser. To use the Directory,
as user will simply check a series of travel
terms that narrow down the number of possible
results for a desired activity or destination
(as examples) to as granular a search as
they wish. The results themselves will be
links to the .travel registrants
that match all facets of the query only,
which means that – contrary to existing
search engines – every response
will be a 100% match to the query.
Users should be aware that
because the travel industry migration to
.travel is anticipated
to take time, the Directory may not return
results to every look-up simply because
profiles reflecting such queries may not
yet be loaded by those offering those products
or services.
