The emblem is a globe with two ribbon signs in form of a curved "Z". At the bottom are the words "OMT.WTO.BTO" [BTO is the Russian name of the organization: (Roman characters transcription) VSSEMIRNAIA TOURISTSKAIA ORGANISATSSIA]
This emblem appears in white on a blue (UNO-ONU) flag. Proportions: 4:7.

At
http://www.unwto.org/aboutwto/images/comunes/bandera.jpg the flag design is
confirmed (except for the lettering) by an actual flag photo. An important
detail is that the scrolls extend each a tip on over the poles.

The emblem can also be seen on the World
Tourism Organization website.

The logo of the World Tourism Organization was changed. According to A/19/10(h)
(2011), the logo was changed in 1998. Thus, the flag was changed as well.
However, according to that same document, the basic design of the flag is still
the emblem on a solid field with no text. A physical copy of the flag can be
seen
here.

The equivalent design using the current acronym and language order preference ("UNWTO•OMT•ЮHBTO"),
an unsure design.
