World Travel And Tourism Council
The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) is the global business leaders' forum for travel and tourism and is composed of Chairmen and Chief Executives of 100 of the world’s foremost organisations, representing all regions and sectors of the industry. Membership to WTTC recognises that the travel and tourism industry is the largest services industry, supporting 255 million jobs and generating 9 per cent of world GDP. Monitoring the growth of the industry allows WTTC to set specific strategic priorities to identify issues that most impede the operation or development of the sector. Currently the industry's issues can be divided into three: 'Freedom to Travel', 'Policies for Growth' and 'Tourism for Tomorrow'.
