World Travel Organization
The World Travel Organization (WTO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that focuses on promoting responsible, sustainable, and universally accessible tourism. Established in 1975, its primary goal is to enhance the economic and social benefits of tourism while preserving cultural and natural resources. The WTO provides valuable research, data, and guidelines to help countries develop their tourism sectors effectively.
The organization also works to foster international cooperation among governments, the private sector, and other stakeholders in the tourism industry. By promoting best practices and sharing knowledge, the World Travel Organization aims to ensure that tourism contributes positively to global development and cultural exchange.
