.booking Domain Information

Country flagLogo for .booking Domain

Travel accommodation and reservations sit behind .booking, and the string sits in the contested closed-generic category from ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program: an ordinary English word describing an entire commercial activity, delegated on a restricted basis rather than opened to the market. Applications of this kind attracted sustained objection during the round and remain central to debate about how descriptive terms should be treated in future application windows.

There is no registration channel, pricing, or aftermarket for .booking domains; use is limited to the operator's own travel and accommodation properties. For businesses in travel, the extension is relevant mainly as a precedent — a high-intent category keyword permanently withdrawn from the open namespace at the top level, which is a live consideration for anyone planning string strategy ahead of the next round.
