WORLDWIDE WORLD TRADE CENTER

:''This article is about world trade centers across the globe. For the New York World Trade center, see World Trade Center. For other uses, see World Trade Center (disambiguation)
'World trade centers' or 'world trade centres' (usually abbreviated WTC) arose in the United States and Japan in the 1970s, spearheaded by New York City's World Trade Center.
A world trade center puts together under one roof all the services associated with global commerce, a kind of supermarket or shopping mall providing networking access between corporations and governments. "A World Trade Center in any city is a business shopping center, complementing and supporting the existing services of private and government agencies", explains World Trade Center Association (WTCA) President, Guy F. Tozzoli.[1]
In foreign languages, the "WTC" expression is sometimes mistranslated as the world's "center of the trade," especially in relation to the New York City WTC.
The 'World Trade Centers Association' founded in 1970 and based in New York City, is an organization of nearly 300 world trade centers in almost 100 countries. The WTCA is an unofficial umbrella trade association that unites corporations and government agencies in international trade.
