In the years before the pandemic, overnight stays from China had grown continuously, writes Switzerland Tourism in a statement. This made the market the third most important foreign market for Swiss tourism, right after Germany and the USA. In order to seize the still enormous potential of the new generation of Chinese-speaking travelers in particular, ST is present and active with 13 specialists in Beijing and Shanghai, but also in Hong Kong and Taipei.
Language and country expert takes over

The tourism specialist speaks Mandarin and will manage Swiss tourism advertising locally in Beijing from May 1, 2022. The main focus of activities is more than ever innovative online promotions on all relevant web and social media platforms of the market.
