What is World Tourism Organization

Chapter 7
Shifts in Knowledge Sharing and Creativity for Business Tourism
A leading international organization in the field of tourism. The organization was founded in 1974 in Madrid. The World Tourism Organization was created in 1925 in the form of the International Congress of Official Tourism Associations (ICOTT) in The Hague. During the existence of IUOTO, close ties were established between the organization and the United Nations, and there were initial proposals for the organization to become part of the United Nations. In 1970, the IUOTO General Assembly approved the creation of a World Tourism Organization based on IUOTO's organizational charter. The order was ratified by 51 states, and only after that, on November 1, 1974, the ILO began to function. Currently, 154 states are members of TO.
