The Third Summer School in Tourism Management will be held in Gozo from the 30th of July to the 6th of August and is an initiative of Observatory on Tourism in the European Islands (OTIE) organised in collaboration with Islands & Small States Institute (Malta University) and Gozo Business Chamber, The Institie of Tourism Studies and the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz.

This year the couse is aimed at ‘Islands Tourism Management.’ The course is aimed at students of European Universities and to those who intend to work for the tourism development of their island.

The official language of the course will be English and to facilitate the understanding, the course of tourism will be joined by some hours of English language lessons.

The summer school is dedicated to OTIE first Director Dr. Mario Frontoni, who died in April 2011.

One of the main objectives of OTIE is to organise training seminars and courses, giving the occasion to participants to know the tourism sector and to apply their knowledge in the development planning.
