How Much It Costs to Be a World Trade Center

Did you know there are actually 300 World Trade Centers around the world? There are! And they all pay for the name. Marketplace reports that the current price if you would like to name your business park or building the World Trade Center: $200,000 (one time fee) plus $10,000/year. So many reasons to do this, according to the World Trade Centers Association, who sells the licenses for the name. For example: “A WTC connects its business community to the people, the companies, the data and the government agencies that make up the fabric of global commerce.” Sounds amaze. What else? “They are symbols of the international connectedness and competitiveness of a community.” Oooh. And? “The WTC brand is known around the world.” Right. You’re right. Yes. That’s true.
