Where we started
Malta
The original BlueTide platform and the starting point for a model that connects tourism, local communities and conservation.
BlueTide Global
From Malta
to the Mediterranean.
Born in Malta, BlueTide brings together coastal and island tourism, marine conservation, local communities and digital innovation to create new ways of experiencing destinations.
Through digital tools, local partnerships and opportunities for active participation, BlueTide aims to make tourism a way to connect people with places, support local communities and contribute to environmental conservation.
Now, we're taking this approach beyond Malta, starting with Italy.

01 / The Malta project
Where BlueTide began.
BlueTide started in Malta, an initiative by EcoMarine Malta bringing together marine science, sustainable tourism, local experiences and digital innovation.
Through an interactive map, educational content, AI-powered itineraries and opportunities for active participation, BlueTide invites visitors and residents to explore Malta beyond the usual, discover its natural and cultural heritage and engage with the people and places that make it unique.
More than a visitor platform, BlueTide is creating opportunities for businesses, communities and environmental organisations to contribute to a more responsible and meaningful tourism experience.
