WYSTC

The World Youth and Student Travel Conference (www.wystc.org) is the Confederation's signature networking and trading event.

Established in 1992, WYSTC attracts more than 800 delegates from around the world, including representatives of specialist youth and student travel organisations, tourism boards, and various service and product suppliers, wholesalers and retailers.

Since its inception in 1992, WYSTC has travelled to a new global destination each year. Growing in size as well as reputation, WYSTC is now considered the community's most important, must-attend conference.
