International Thomson Organization (ITO) was a Canadian holding company that was active from 1978 to 1989, with interests in publishing, travel, and natural resources. It was created as a part of a corporate restructuring of the Thomson Organization, originally founded by Roy Thomson, 1st Baron Thomson of Fleet in 1959, which included among others, ownership of The Times newspaper (later sold from the company in 1981). It merged with Thomson Newspapers to become the Thomson Corporation in 1989.
