Here's a few maintenance tips you should follow:
Seal the top with a good impregnator sealer. Depending on usage you may want to do this annually.
Use a cleaner designed for stone. Travertine like most marbles is a calcite stone meaning it will etch with cleaners with an acid side ph. This includes windex, vinegar and a lot of the available tub and tile cleaners. You didn't mention if your travertine has a honed or polished look to it but even on a honed surface improper cleaners will eventually make the stone look duller over time.
Hope this helps,
