History

The history of UNWTO dates back to the year 1920 when the “International

Congress of Official Tourist Traffic Associations (ICOTT)” was established at The

Hague, the Netherlands. The origin can also be linked to “International Union of

Official Tourist Publicity Organizations (IUOTPO)”, although the UNWTO states that

“the ICOTT became the International Union of Officials Tourist Publicity

Organizations first in 1934”. After the brief discontinuity during the Second World

War an International Conference was held in London that gave birth to The

International Union of Official Travel Organization (IUOTO) in the year 1947 and

IUOTO was finally transformed into an Intergovernmental organization called

World Tourism Organization on January 2 1975. The headquarters was established

in Madrid, Spain in January 1976. The resolution for setting up the headquarters

was already taken in the first General Assembly of the WTO. The UN General

Assembly decided to add UN before the World Tourism Organization in order to

differentiate between World Trade Organization and World Tourism Organization.

Finally, the organization was renamed as UNWTO on December 1 2005
