What happened to Travelocity on The Amazing Race? The Race was the lifeblood of the company.

Maanca:
Guess that means no more Travelocity Roaming Gnome. I remember when he used to live-tweet the show, they stopped that several years ago.

Given how the past three years have been, it could be as simple as Travelocity not putting their stake back into the show with any risk whatsoever of travel restrictions or liability towards their image.  Sponsor deals can be executed well in advance of filming and sometimes in bulk (say for x amount of seasons).  At any point in the past several years they could have simply not renewed.  No way of knowing.

Expedia actually owns Travelocity (and Orbitz as well), so the same corporation is still advertising for and supporting the Race (just using their main brand now). I agree though it’ll be weird not seeing the Roaming Gnome after so many years!

And Hotels.com and VRBO (which ran commercials during 33).
