.viajes

Overview

• .viajes is an active generic top-level domain (gTLD) introduced through ICANN's New gTLD Program.
• The string "viajes" is Spanish for "trips" or "travels," positioning the TLD for travel- and tourism-related use, particularly in Spanish-language markets.
• Registry / manager: Donuts (Black Madison, LLC).
• Category: Commerce (intended for commercial use in travel/tourism).

History

• Proposed during ICANN's New gTLD application round.
• The application for .viajes succeeded in the New gTLD Program.
• Registry Agreement: Donuts received a signed Registry Agreement with ICANN on 17 October 2013 after passing Initial Evaluation.
• Delegation: .viajes was delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 17 December 2013, completing delegation.

Usage and Audience

• Primary audience: businesses, brands and websites focused on travel, tourism and trips, especially those targeting Spanish-speaking travelers.
• Typical users include travel agencies, tour operators, booking services, travel bloggers and other commerce-oriented travel sites seeking a Spanish-language brand signal.

Registration Rules

• Intended to be an open gTLD without pre-registration policies.
• The registry's application stated it would not use pre-registration verification, arguing such verification could deny legitimate registrants and cause more harm than benefit.
• The operator committed to adhere to all ICANN registration policies and to implement remediation and takedown policies and other rights-protection mechanisms to control abuse.

SEO and Brand Impact

• As a Spanish-language, travel-focused gTLD, .viajes can serve as a clear brand signal for travel-related content targeting Spanish speakers.
• Delegation and a Registry Agreement with ICANN establish it as an official gTLD suitable for commercial branding in the travel sector.
