.VACATIONS Domain Extension

Why choose a .VACATIONS domain?

Two useful points, and they work together. First, this is the North American word: where a British traveller goes on holiday, an American takes a vacation. We carry both extensions, and the choice depends on who reads you. Second, the plural shifts the point of view: “vacations” in the plural are not your customer’s time off, they are the range of stays you sell.

The regional word

“Vacations” in North America, “holiday” in Britain. If your customers are American or Canadian, this is the word they reach for.

The rental

Cottage, condo, lakeside house, genuine capacity. Bed count and distance to the water decide more than photographs do.

The package

Flights, accommodation, transfers, meals, activities included. A package is compared on what is left out, never on what is in.

Booking

Free weeks, minimum stay, deposit, cancellation policy. Cancellation is the clause everybody has read closely for a few years now.

The season

High and low season, school breaks, public holidays. The same cottage can vary threefold by week: publish the grid.

What it actually changes

• It is the North American word. .holiday is its British counterpart: two extensions, two audiences.
• The plural names your offer. Not the customer’s time off but the range you sell: a useful shift.
• No registration restrictions. No travel agent or letting licence to show the registrar.
• It works as an email address too. bookings@lakeside.vacations states its purpose with nothing to explain.
