OTIE PROFILE

On the 2nd February of 2007, the Observatory on Tourism for Islands Economy -OTIE  was successfully founded in Palermo, where the Head Office is located. 
​
It’s a non-profit association, constituted by  public institutions, Universities, Research  Centres  and other international organizations of 7 UE insular countries (Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, Greece, Malta e Cyprus).
