Se trata de un departamento ministerial español, quizás ahora tenga el rango de subdirección general. En algún documento oficial en inglés he visto que lo traducen como "The Secretary General for Tourism", pero no me suena a que esto sea correcto, pues se referiría al que ocupa dicho cargo. Habrá que indicar al ministerio, en su caso, cual sería la versión correcta.

The Secretariat General for Tourism
Among other things, they run the very good "Paradores" chain of hotels.

Debí haber señalado que "Secretaría" equivale a "Secretariat", como por ejemplo el Secretario General de la ONU es el Secretary General, pero su organismo es "the Secretariat General".

Excecutive Tourism Office
Like Liz, I'm not fond of "Secretariat..." and have taken great pains to find (or coin) other, more modern-sounding alternatives.
A Secretariat is the cabinet level unit of government also known as an Executive Office. Departments usually report to them.

In the UK, for example, we have the National Tourist Office (NTO) for Scotland.

So "National/Regional Tourist/Office".
