ABSTRACT: For many, leisure is a central life focus, influencing the social, cultural and 

economic well being of individuals, communities and nations world-wide. Leisure is
transformational, providing opportunities for individuals to address and respond to our
ever changing environment. As a major way of impacting quality of life and well being,
leisure provides many benefits. Founded in 1952, the World Leisure Organization is
dedicated to discovering and fostering conditions through leisure that help individuals,
communities and nations optimize a higher quality of life and well being. Linked to the
United Nations, World Leisure provides many valuable benefits and programs and
services for its membership and are presented and reviewed in this article.
