==Requirements==
Registrants must be verified participants in the travel industry. This can include anything from airlines, to public attractions, to ferries, restaurants, and bed & breakfast houses.
 
Tralliance requires that, when a .travel domain name is registered, a website with relevant content must be put up within one year of registration.<ref>[http://www.travel.travel/index.php/faqs/ Tralliance FAQ]</ref>
