The Maine Office of Tourism (MOT) is an office within the Maine Department of Economic & Community Development that is responsible for supporting and expanding the State's tourism industry and promoting Maine as a tourist destination.

The Maine Film Office is a division of MOT that markets Maine as a filming location and works to increase film production in Maine and encourage production companies to hire crew and source goods and services locally.

The Maine Office of Outdoor Recreation is a division of MOT that was established to grow Maine's outdoor recreation economy and work with public and private sector partnerships to build the state's outdoor recreation brand.
