Switzerland comes top in tourism tables...

Switzerland is number one in the world for the competitiveness of its tourism industry, according to a new report by the World Economic Forum.

The only negative was Switzerland’s high prices.

Tages-Anzeiger commented that the result was surprising given the problems associated with the strong franc.

It’s the fifth time in succession that Switzerland has topped the biennial ‘Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report’.

Germany and Austria came next in the ranking of 140 countries, judged according to their attractiveness and ability to develop their travel and tourism industries.

 The report highlights the potential of the tourism industry to boost economic resilience and job creation. Full story...
