More than a building or an organisation, a World Trade Centre (WTC) is a thriving microcosm of the businesses, services, organisations and individuals, involved in the world of trade. A global commerce site which offers prime interactivity and exposure to the businesses driving international trade.
WTCs stimulate local, national and global economies within the framework of a virtual marketplace; a Centre-point of access and exposure critical for international trade success. "A World Trade Centre in any city is a business shopping Centre, complementing and supporting the existing services of private and government agencies," explains World Trade Centre Association (WTCA) Founder, Guy F. Tozzoli.
Information, expertise and energy – elements essential to successful trade on a global scale – power the WTC environment, enabling immediate access to the valuable expertise that drives export of all kinds.
World Trade Centre Association (WTCA) History: The WTCA is a not-for-profit, non-political association that exists to foster the development and success of international business trade. Its membership includes nearly 300 WTCs in almost 100 countries. Over 750,000 companies are affiliated with WTCA members worldwide.
The WTCA was established in 1970 to facilitate international trade to offer exporters, importers and service providers a resource and commerce base. The first of these pioneer Centres were built in Houston, New Orleans, New York and Tokyo, after which the World Trade Centre Association was borne.
