ITCA International Travel Catering Association
Description
Representing the best in international travel catering
ITCA, the International Travel Catering Association, grew out of IFCA which was formed in the United Kingdom in 1980. IFCA was established as a forum and representative body for all companies involved in the inflight service industry. In 2005 with the formation of ITCA this was opened up to include both the rail and shipping industries as well as inflight. Membership is divided into three categories – caterers, suppliers of products and equipment, and airline/sea/rail operators .
Initially IFCA had only 40 member companies under Founder-President Willie Seeman but it has always been a global association. It has grown over the years to over 700 member companies world-wide. The first conference and trade show was held in 1982 and the event has been held every year ever since, usually in a different European location each year, attended by over 2,000 industry executives from all continents of the world.
The association also organises regional conferences, arranges education and training seminars, publishes a magazine, and has a number of active committees dealing with issues from marketing to environmental concerns and regulatory issues. Additionally it organises the premier international industry award competition for innovation and development - the Mercury Award.
