Question
Question: Role of International Travel Organizations in the Growth and Evolution of Air Travel Industry.

Answer
"Role of International Travel Organizations in the Growth and Evolution of Air Travel Industry"

Your question sounds like the title to a doctoral dissertation.  And it would likely take a book to fully answer the question.  So here is an extremely brief answer.

Different organizations serve different purposes.  Some of them lobby governments on behalf of the air travel industry.  Others help airlines organize with each other to facilitate inter-line agreements.  Still other drive business and technology innovations.

I recommend you surf the net and look up groups like IATA and ICAO for starters.
