WTTC Mission
“To maximise the sustainable growth of the industry by informing governments and wider society of the enormous economic and social benefit that Travel & Tourism brings to the world community”
Why research?
“The single biggest gap in knowledge [for governments] is how tourism can impact the economic development of a country. I don’t just mean in terms of the basic rise in GDP as a result of having tourism, but how, if done properly, it can open up a country in many other ways...if you don’t get it right, then in a world in which everyone is competing for capital investment and business, you are going to do less well”.
Rt Hon Tony Blair, WTTC Asian Summit, Sept 2013
