GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF TOURISM, TRADE,
AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Our Mission

Created in 1996 by the Legislature, the Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development (OTTED), within the Executive Office of the Governor, assists the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Legislature to formulate policies and strategies designed to provide economic opportunities for all Floridians.

The State of Florida has an important role to play in promoting an economic climate in which Florida’s businesses can be competitive and productive with minimal government interference. OTTED provides executive direction and staff support to develop policies and advocate for economic diversification and improvements in Florida’s business climate and infrastructure. Economic development programs are implemented through public/private partnerships for which OTTED provides direct oversight.
