The objective was to help to promote Hong Kong as a tourist destination during the summer low season. </p><p>The event was a success and more and more international crews started to participate in the racing now held at East Tsim Sha Tsui. The local Hong Kong Amateur Rowing Association became involved and helped draft the first ever set of international race rules for dragon boats. </p><p>By 1991, several national dragon boat federations had been formed and it became clear that an international governing body ought to be established. So, on 24 June 1991, at a meeting in Hong Kong, the International Dragon Boat Federation was founded. The founding national federations were: Australia, China, Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), Great Britain, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Norway, the Philippines, Singapore, and the United States. </p><p>In 1992, IDBF published its first set of race rules and the technical specifications that would govern the boats and paddles used for racing. </p><p>In 1995, in Yue Yang, China, IDBF held its first World Nations Championships. Over 800 athletes representing 14 nations participated. </p><p>In 1996, in Vancouver, Canada, IDBF held its first Club Crew World Championships. This attracted over 250 athletes from 10 clubs from six nations. </p><p>Thereafter, the biennial sequence of World Nations Championships one year and Club Crew World Championships the next has been maintained (except for 2020 and 2021 when COVID prevented championships from taking place). </p><p>The sport has grown significantly since those early days and 30 nations (some 3,250 athletes) competed in the 2019 World Nations Championships and an incredible 140 clubs (some 6,200 athletes) competed in the 2018 Club Crew World Championships. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Objectives">Objectives</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=International_Dragon_Boat_Federation&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Objectives"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The objectives of the IDBF are to:<sup id="cite_ref-:1_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ol><li>encourage the development of the sport of dragon boat racing;</li> <li>maintain the sport’s cultural, historical, and religious traditions;</li> <li>strengthen the bonds of friendship that unite those who participate in the sport;</li> <li>be the solitary representation of dragon boating and Traditional Boat racing within international sports associations;</li> <li>be the final authority for all international dragon boat and Traditional Boat racing championships;</li> <li>deliver international championships;</li> <li>establish and enforce competition regulations and rules for racing for international championships;</li> <li>encourage the formation of governing organisations in countries where none exist;</li> <li>promote inclusiveness in the sport;</li> <li>achieve IOC recognition; and</li> <li>see dragon boating as an Olympic sport.</li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Mission">Mission</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=International_Dragon_Boat_Federation&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Mission"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On the IDBF website, the IDBF notes that, "The IDBF shall observe the general and fundamental principles of the Olympic Charter and IOC Manual on sport and the environment."<sup id="cite_ref-:1_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The IDBF lists the following four principles of service to its members: </p> <ol><li>"To support and maintain the authority and autonomy of its Members and to promote closer links between its Members</li> <li>To convey to other organizations the views of its Members and to co-ordinate and protect the common interests of its Members.</li> <li>To collaborate, on behalf of its Members, with organization having as an objective the promotion of sport and particularly those paddle sports in which the use of the single bladed paddle is paramount.
