Esteemed TV award
The Emmy is to U.S. television what the Oscar is to the film industry. The award is presented annually by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
Millions of viewers
The half-hour Travel Cafe program is produced by Chuck Henry and Kristin Arntz. Every week, Chuck Henry portrays attractions and specific features of a travel destination on television stations NBC 4 (Southern California region) and NBC 5 (Chicago). The travel show reaches six million viewers through NBC 4 and two million through NBC 5. The Engadin/St. Moritz region is not the first region in Switzerland to be introduced with Travel Cafe. In 2002 Chuck Henry took the show already to the Lake Geneva and Matterhorn region, followed in 2003 by an episode about the Italian part of Switzerland (Ticino: Switzerland’s Italian Side), 2005 by a program featuring Lucerne (Lucerne: the Essence of Switzerland) and 2007: our Emmy nominated show: Ski Switzerland. All of these programs were co-produced with Switzerland Tourism and the respective regions.
