In autumn 2024, Switzerland Tourism and HotellerieSuisse conducted a study with roughly 1800 participants in Switzerland, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. The study found that a guest spends more than 50% of their time during a vacation at the hotel. Besides sleeping, there are a range of activities done in a hotel or other accommodation – for example spa and wellness, dinner, or even cleaning the mountain bike after a day on the trails. That’s why it is important to choose the right accommodation for your needs, and Switzerland Tourism can help you with your hotel and lodgings options.
Whether you need a break in Swiss nature, relaxation, or a place where you can spend time with your loved ones, Switzerland Tourism offers a unique range of hotels and accommodations as diverse as Switzerland itself.
