Q What is the World Trade Centers Association (WTCA)?
A The World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) was established in 1970 to facilitate international trade by bringing together exporters, importers, and service providers. The first seeds of the international movement were sown in 1970 when the pioneer World Trade Centers- Houston, New Orleans, New York and Tokyo and a number of World Trade Center enthusiasts first organized a World Trade Centers Association. World Trade Centers stand outside politics across national boundaries, in service to those who develop and facilitate international trade. The WTCA has been a world leader in creating innovative service for international business. WTCA is a not-for-profit, non-political association that fosters the WTC concept and develops inter-WTC cooperative programs. WTCA membership includes over 300 WTCs in 88 countries.
