Visiting 100 countries was an accomplishment most could only dream about 50 years ago. It took considerable time and money. But the idea of forming a club for those privileged few who had succeeded in this feat was born in Los Angeles in 1954. By 1960 there were 43 who qualified and became charter members. The first open meeting of the Travelers' Century Club was held a year later. Interest spread as did the ease of travel. Today there are over 1,500 members throughout the world. There are now 317 countries on the official list, with about 35 members having visited over 300 of these destinations. Click here for a complete history of the club by travel writer Lorelli Embry. |
