Travelers' Century Club
The Travelers' Century Club, or TCC, is a club for people who have visited 100 or more of the world's countries and territories.
The organization was founded in California in 1954 and now has more than 2,000 members throughout the world. The club has sixteen regional chapters in the U.S., two in Canada, and one each in the UK and Germany.〔(TCC Chapters )〕 It holds regular meetings and arranges tours to remote destinations.
==Membership Eligibility and the List==
The TCC maintains a list of countries and territories by which initial membership and milestone recognition is determined. The list includes not only sovereign states but also certain territories, exclaves and island groups. As of January 1, 2014, the list contains 324 such territories. The club literature notes that "although some are not actually countries in their own right, they have been included because they are removed from parent, either geographically, politically or ethnologically",〔(List of TCC Countries )〕 based on rules established in 1970.〔(TCC Rules for Determining Country & Territory Status )〕 The designation of what qualifies to be on the list is very roughly based on the amateur radio DXCC award criteria for working 100 "entities."
Anyone who has visited 100 or more of the places on the list is eligible to join. The club has no requirements as to how long the traveler must have stayed in a country to qualify.
