.TOURS Domain Extension

Why choose a .TOURS domain?

The plural does all the work: it announces a catalogue. Nobody sells “a tour”; they offer a range — the three-hour walk, the full day, the private version, the school group option. A small curiosity along the way: the word is also the name of a real French city on the Loire. A perfect homograph with no practical consequence, though French customers always notice it.

The catalogue

Duration, difficulty, guide’s language, group size, what is included. Customers compare five itineraries in ten minutes: make comparing easy.

The guided walk

On foot, by bicycle, by coach, food-led, history-led. The theme matters more than the city: people choose an experience.

The guide

Who leads it, what training, which languages, for how long. On a three-hour walk the person makes the entire difference.

Booking

Departures, places left, cancellation for weather, refunds. Visitors book from abroad, frequently months ahead.

The homograph

Tours is also a city in France, on the Loire. No practical consequence, but a detail French visitors will point out.

What it actually changes

• The plural announces a range. That is what separates it from .voyage, which suggests one journey, and .vacations, which names a stay.
• It reads in French too. The word is used there for guided circuits without difficulty.
• No registration restrictions. No travel agent licence to show the registrar — though one is needed to sell certain packages.
• It works as an email address too. bookings@oldtown.tours states its purpose before anyone writes.
