VisitHumboldtCounty.com

VisitHumboldtCounty.com is a Humboldt County tourism domain name, registered in February 2018. It is the sentence a traveler types when planning a trip: visit, the place, the county. Humboldt County is the redwood coast of Northern California — old-growth forest, a long Pacific shoreline, and Victorian towns such as Eureka and Ferndale.

Destination searches are made by people who have not decided where to stay, eat or book. A name that begins with the word visit and ends with the place is matched to that stage of the trip, and it reads correctly when spoken, printed on a brochure, or shown on a sign at a trailhead. It fits a lodging or vacation-rental group, a guided-tour or outfitter collective, a regional events and festivals calendar, a travel publisher, or a business association that wants one shared front door for visitors.

Registered 2018, eight years of history. A related name in this portfolio is iLovePhilly.com, the same idea for a city.

Read before you offer. Humboldt County already has an official destination marketing organization, the Humboldt County Visitors Bureau, which operates at visitredwoods.com, so this name would be an independent or complementary site, not the official one, and the buyer should not present it as official. “Humboldt County” is also the name of counties in other states, so the address does not by itself say California. Place names are not exclusive, and other travel sites cover this region. Buyers run their own trademark clearance. The sale is the domain name only; the logo artwork and the scenery shown in it are concept only and do not convey.
