The Headquarter and Secretariat are located in Beijing.

"The summit held by WTCF is a comprehensive platform," said Cheng Hong. 151 member units are connected closely by WTCF, to discuss the laws, share the successful experiences, carry out mutually beneficial cooperation and stimulate the development of tourism cities.

As one of the highlights, World Tourism Organization will conduct a two-year cooperation on World Tourism City Performance Report with WTCF, and the initiatory research contents will be presented on the Forum of the summit.

Furthermore, the summit 2015 also has new features in the contents. WTCF will release the ranking of the world tourism cities for the first time, revealed by Cheng Hong. "The ranking not only consider the existing scenic spots and the tourism scale, but also bring into the refined indexes like potentiality, attraction of the tourism resources and network supports, to provide reference for tourism cities."
