Swiss tourism can look forward to solid winter business. According to a forecast by the ETH economic research institute KOF, the number of overnight stays in the 2023/24 winter season will increase by 1.6% to 17.7 million.
The expected growth is primarily based on the hope that March 2024 will not be as snow-poor as last year. In addition, more European guests are expected again, particularly from Germany. The KOF announced on Thursday that they had increasingly held back last winter due to the gloomy consumer sentiment.
Meanwhile, a slight decline is forecast for Swiss guests following the high figures in the previous year. Swiss people are increasingly traveling abroad again after the pandemic. In a historical comparison, however, the level of Swiss guests remains high.
