If they are already using the domain name for the Class that you want a TM in then they could rightly oppose your TM application. If they do not oppose it they still could cause you problems if they can prove prior rights in that same Class later on. For example, if you used your domain for a Travel Agents
after getting the TM for that Classification ,then they might also have been using that same name for a travel Agent business .You would then have problems stopping them and they might even be able to sue you. IF however you were using yours for Travel Agents and they were using theirs to sell sweets at the time that you got your TM, then if they suddenly changed from Sweets to travel agents you could take action in Court for breach of TM etc etc etc
