World Tourism Network is the long-overdue voice of small- and medium-sized travel and tourism businesses around the world. By uniting efforts, it brings to the forefront the needs and aspirations of small- and medium-sized businesses and their stakeholders.

WTN emerged out of a rebuilding.travel discussion. The rebuilding.travel discussion started on March 5, 2020, on the sidelines of ITB Berlin. ITB was canceled, but rebuilding.travel launched at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Berlin. In December, rebuilding.travel continued but was structured within a new organization called World Tourism Network.

By bringing together private and public sector members on regional and global platforms, WTN not only advocates for its members but provides them a voice at major tourism meetings. WTN provides opportunities and essential networking for its members in more than 120 countries.
