Retour au fil d'actualité
The Swiss hotel industry recorded fewer overnight stays in September. This means that the positive trend in the current year has come to a halt for the time being.
The number of overnight stays fell by 2.0% in September compared to the previous year, according to an initial estimate released by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) on Tuesday. Although there was an increase of 2.6 percent in the number of foreign guests, the number of Swiss guests fell by 6.5 percent.
Setback after boom phase
The boom in the Swiss hotel industry has thus come to an end, at least for the time being. From January to March, overnight stays increased by 2.3 percent to 29.6 million and the industry seemed to be well on the way to surpassing last year's record of 41.8 million overnight stays for the year as a whole.
The definitive and absolute figures for overnight stays in September as well as further information on hotel overnight stays from January to September will be published by the FSO on November 4.
