Hostelling International, formerly known as International Youth Hostel Federation (IYHF), is the federation of more than 90 national youth hostel associations in more than 80 countries who run over 4,500 youth hostels and youth hotels around the world. One of them is the Youth Hostels Association (YHA) in Great Britain. They act under the common brand Hostelling International.
The International Youth Hostel Federation was founded on 20 October 1932 in Amsterdam by representatives from associations in Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Britain, Ireland, France and Belgium. In 1933 Richard Schirrmann, the founder of the German youth hostel association, became the chairman but was forced to resign by the Nazis in 1936.
The organisation cares of service for travellers and coordination of the national organisations. It does a great job for youth work and international understanding. The office is based in Welwyn Garden City outside London.
