NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Domain history has been made with the acquisition of the domain name
Answers.travel for an extraordinary $3.3 million in cash. The sale puts
Answers.travel in the top 10 most expensive domain names sold in internet
history. According to sources within the company, the deal closed in the 3rd
quarter of 2008. 

This sale sets record history for the highest amount paid on the secondary
market for a .travel domain name. Answers.travel claims to have a network of
over 20,000 travel help desks, concierge services, tour guides, and travel
information desks in every major and smaller travel destination across the
world. They seriously get all of your travel questions answered and point you in
the right direction. If they don`t have the question on file, they route it to
the appropriate specialist in the destination city/country and have the answer
emailed directly to the user within 1 to 3 business days. This site is a dream
for all travelers. Questions as simple as "Can I travel to Mexico from Canada
with a Felony on my record" to "At what times can I see blue dolphins in the
island of San Marquez", anything at all travel related is answered by

The site also offers comparison travel where you can search all of the major
travel sites on one screen with a click. Answers.travel is one site to keep in

The .travel registry started in 2004 and has been growing rapidly ever since.
They claim that all Travel & Tourism offices of all cities and states in the US
and Ministries of Tourism in foreign countries will have their .travel domain
names such as Greece.travel and LasVegas.travel registered and operational by
2011. The .travel domain name may become very popular in a short period of time,
however it is obvious by this acquisition that single worded concise domain
names will always command top tier valuations even if it`s not .com.
