On Monday Calderon will announce the opening of the bidding process for construction of the new Riviera Maya airport. Anunciará Calderón el lunes la construcción del Aeropuerto de la Riviera Maya | Milenio.com This *might* be official enough for me to believe that they are actually going to build this airport. Haha.
LOL really! I'd bet no one has even thought that far ahead yet.. but I doubt you'd be able to get the .mx domain. There's probably a whole range of future tourist related business names that you could start locking down if thats the sort of venture you're into. I've got an acquaintance who is depending on that airport being built. Several years ago he snatched up a good bit of land, that, if the airport is ever built, will have the airport road running right through it.... which should make him quite a bit of $$$ from the resulting prime commercial real estate. But I think he stopped holding his breath a few years back on the airport ever materializing.
I think Steve's already figured out by now that people have been buying domains in speculation of this future airport. I looked into it about a year ago and I could tell that people were already going for it. Those domain name speculators are always the first on the scene, like vultures who hover before you actually die...haha.
Yeah, I'm late on the scene. Have considered it before now though I know someone from this board already has tulumairporttransfers.com - probably nabbed it before I did after we chatted it over one night! I bet it wont be called Tulum Airport though - doesnt quite sit right considering the Mayan history of the area.
Seems like they might want to call it Riviera Maya International Airport, given the popularity of the term "riviera maya." Imho tulumairporttransfers.com needs some hyphens in it...it's too long to get typed in much, and if you are going for search traffic then the hyphens help with that, hyphens also would make it more human readable. Just being an annoying armchair critic, don't mind me. I wonder how long it will be before they really do build this airport. I wonder how many airlines are talking about operating from it? Cancun's airport has great infrastructure, with 2 runways, seems like not that many airlines will switch to the new airport...unless there's some tax incentive or something. It will be interesting to watch this unfold.
Oh I'm not so sure RG, I'd always pick a non hyphenated over hyphenated. I think SE's figured out the word separation thing a while back and it's a lot more brandable and/or sellable imho. It is pretty long but what available domain these days isn't.
Well, it's debatable. This is a common conversation that I have with my clients. Hyphens suck when you have to tell someone a domain name (they are awkward and they aren't memorable), but an easily human-readable domain is important too. It's a tossup sometimes. But I'm so impatient with all things internet that I won't type in a long confusing domain name, I'll Google for your competitors first. I guess it depends partly on how you expect your clients to find your site.
HAHAHA--you made me remember one good example of why to use hyphens RG!! If you have a condo marketing company you might night want condomarketing.com as the SE´s just might pick up "condom" as a search result! But other than that kind of situation, I too prefer non-hyphenated ones generally.
