History of this Poster.
Originally created in 1927 as "The Travel Association of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" Its aims were, ‘To increase the number of visitors from overseas to Great Britain and Ireland; to stimulate the demand for British goods and services and to promote international understanding by every means.
The association went through various changes between 1927 and during the war, the Association spent much of its time planning for post-war development.
Post WWII - The British Tourist and Holidays Board (BTHB) was established in 1947 to ‘foster and develop the tourist, catering and holiday services’.
From this point, it was decided that the Travel Association should effectively act as the tourist division of the BTHB whilst maintaining its independence and structure.
This was just in time for the 1948 Olympic Games to be held in Britain, which saw record numbers of visitors to the country. Other post-war highlights included the re-opening of the New York offices and a visit from H.R.H. Princess Elizabeth in 1949.
