Toronto, October 5, 2020. Switzerland is rolling out the major consumer and trade campaign “I need Switzerland” from October 5 to November 1, 2020. With the Swiss borders having been open to Canadians for some time, the moment is right to talk about booking travel again.
Pascal Prinz, Director for Switzerland Tourism in Canada, remarks: “Switzerland and Canada rank amongst the safest countries in this Covid-19 world according to a recent study by the Deep Knowledge Group. Canadians can travel to Switzerland without having to quarantine upon arrival and immediately enjoy the Swiss Alps and our four language regions. We remain a fully committed partner, supporting travel agents and tour operators with our biggest campaign in Canada. Start your journey today with Mike Sidofsky, the young Torontonian photographer, showing you why you need Switzerland.”
Recognizing the need for competent travel advise in this time, Switzerland Tourism has partnered in English speaking Canada with experienced tour operators Goway and in Quebec with Tours Chanteclerc.
