Skal International je započeo 1932. osnivanjem prvog Pariskog kluba, promoviran prijateljstvom između grupe pariških putničkih agenata koje je nekoliko transportnih kompanija pozvalo na predstavljanje novog aviona namijenjenog za let Amsterdam-Kopenhagen-Malme. .
Motivisani svojim iskustvom i dobrim međunarodnim prijateljstvima koja su nastala na ovim putovanjima, velika grupa profesionalaca predvođena Julesom Mohrom, Florimondom Volckaertom, Hugom Krafftom, Pierreom Souliéom i Georgesom Ithierom, osnovala je Skal klub u Parizu 16. decembra 1932. godine.
Godine 1934. osnovan je Skal International kao jedina profesionalna organizacija koja promoviše globalni turizam i prijateljstvo, ujedinjujući sve sektore turističke industrije.
