香港（社团登记号：CP/LIC/SO/19/41116），协会在各大洲设有分支机构，各国设立代表处。世界徒步协会自成立后，一直秉承“从众、自然、健康、和谐”的发展理念，致力于徒步同行间国际性的交流与合作，并建立徒步专业评估与认证体系，指导和组织年度性徒步活动，编辑徒步专业书刊、音像及电子读物，以及专业咨询与培训等相关业务。
成立意义
作为世界性的徒步活动，WWA大会开创了独特快乐式的参与理念——脚步度量梦想，足迹记录成长。在这理念的号召和指引下，不同国家、不同种族、不同年龄的众多民众都成为WWA大会不同程度的参与者和潜在参与者，他们构成了完全不同于其他体育、文化和旅游活动的全新参与群体。
WWA大会由于参与人员广泛、规模较为宏大，且属户外活动，一般在市区或近郊举行，所以能吸引更多的受众人群，具有宣传效果。
WWA大会的社会动员十分广泛，引起各新闻媒介的大力关注，不仅有数量众多的消息，还有高比例的舆论关注和深度报道。
徒步大会是我国目前最为火爆的体育活动，在全国各地形成燎原之势。激情热烈的活动气氛、规模宏大的活动场面，是目前国内其他大型体育活动中所不常看到的。
世界卫生组织早在1992年就宣布：世界上最好的运动就是徒步。
WWA大会集体育、文化、旅游、环保于一身，是一个具有广阔前景且正在迅速发展的文化产业项目。
WWA大会的阵营正在高速发展壮大，它所能带给合作伙伴的，已不仅仅是作为体育文化媒介市场的作用。它所能为合作伙伴提升的品牌价值是建立在WWA大会从众、自然、健康、和谐的发展理念的基础上；是建立在WWA大会优质品牌的经营、维护的基础上；是建立在众多徒步爱好者这一群体基础上的品牌价值提升度。
序言
◆现在社会，是个十分方便的社会。上下班有通勤，出门有公交车，甚至去不远的超市也开私家车前往；在家无论是扫除、洗衣、做饭，真正动手的越来越少了；人们沉浸在电视、网络和游戏里……另一方面，人们被越来越多的信息和复杂的人际关系所包围，时时的紧张和不安不能得到及时的释放。种种诱因使得人们的身体四肢无力、肩背不正、肥胖、体力低下，继而造成腰酸、背痛、膝疼、头晕脑涨、糖尿病、高血压等病症。
◆要改变现状，最好的办法就是在繁忙之余，做些徒步运动，走进大自然，享受和煦的阳光，呼吸新鲜的空气，放飞自己的心情，忘记那喧闹嘈杂烟尘滚滚的城市，让一望无际碧绿的花草览入眼底，体验花之媚、水之秀、海之蓝、树之杂、草之青……
◆徒步，让我们从平庸的生活中挣扎出来，投入到大自然中去，在大自然的怀抱中彻底地放松自己，卸下伪装，人与人之间毫无功利之心，只剩下了真挚的情感。徒步，让我们真真切切的感受人与人之间朴实的感情,体会到户外活动人与人之间真挚的交流，寻找到释然的快乐。
