Federal President Simonetta Sommaruga invited the tourism industry to three tourism summits during the Corona crisis, which took place on April 26, May 24 and August 31, 2020. The representatives of the Federal Council and the tourism organizations are working together to open up perspectives for the industry.
Many Swiss people went on vacation in their home country in the summer of 2020. This has somewhat dampened the slump in the tourism industry. The associations and organizations will be worried about the coming months. The infection numbers are an important factor for lively tourism in times of the pandemic: if they are low, potential holiday guests also have a high level of trust in tourism and in safety. Accordingly, tourism organizations and the Federal Council agree that solid protection concepts are needed in tourism and other areas in order to create a good starting point in terms of sanitation and thus maintain security and trust.
