It is well known, that the Swiss are particularly sustainable: consistent recycling, rigid exhaust emissions standards, good waste management, carefully controlled landscape planning and strict conditions for construction projects are just part of every-day life.
Sustainable travel doesn’t necessarily mean having to live without it completely. Sustainable travel means greater awareness and depth and more enjoyment. With this in mind, Switzerland follows its own sustainability strategy, launched last year: Swisstainable.
Awareness for sustainability – and in our case Swisstainability ! – is a growing priority for meeting and event organisers and in this newsletter we very much like to assure you that your clients will find the best of ideas and efforts to make their event sustainable in the highest possible degree.
And Switzerland definitely offers the best background for this awareness: stunning nature, organised public transport and human sized cities. The cities of Zürich, Geneva, Lausanne and Montreux as well as Basel, St.Gallen, Lugano, Lucerne and Interlaken are also included in the GDS (Global Destination Sustainability Movement)
Swisstainable is also the theme at our IMEX (31 May – 2 June) booth E140, so do not hesitate to contactthem there for more details and make an appointment by clicking here to see them!
