OTTI Website is back on-line

The Department of Commerce would like to announce that the OTTI website is back on-line! We expect to continue to serve the industry as the premier source of international travel data and news for the industry as we have since December 1997, when the TInews service was launched. OTTI would like to thank the industry for its patience during this very difficult time. We greatly appreciate the support we received.

To meet the Department of Commerce Internet security requirements, new hardware and software were required. Unfortunately, the shopping cart feature for ordering reports is no longer functional. We are working on this challenge, and intend to have a static order form soon. Work is also in progress to improve the data integrity, security, content, format and usability. Please watch the site for new developments.

All of the data from the old OTTI website has been recovered and posted to the new site. OTTI will be working hard to post new data on the site over the coming months. Watch for future TInews releases.

As always, we welcome industry input on ways we can make the site more useful and easier for you to use. Please bookmark the site, by visiting http://www.tinet.ita.doc.gov/
