The Swiss tourism sector will continue to grow during the winter season. According to the KOF Tourism Forecast, Swiss guests and travellers from overseas markets such as the US will be the main drivers of the increase in overnight stays.

This year’s KOF Tourism Forecast is characterised by several one-off effects. For example, the Omicron wave of COVID-19 slowed the rapid recovery of the tourism sector during the winter. There are currently fewer guests from eastern Europe as a result of the war in Ukraine. In addition, the weakening of the global economy is expected to have a negative impact on tourism demand. Despite all of this, the recovery that began after the pandemic will continue and will generate growth.
