    Switzerland is looking for sustainable tourism projects

    The innovation generator 2.0 is intended to help ensure that the upcoming change in Swiss tourism is sustainable. The Innotour project, supported by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs ( SECO ), aims to trigger sustainable innovations for the tourism industry. Together with the project sponsors, the best ideas should be financed, professionally supported and further developed until they are ready for implementation. The sponsors include various tourism associations as well as the tourism institutes of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and the Western Switzerland University of Applied Sciences .

    According to a media release from one of the project sponsors, the Swiss Tourism Association, interested parties can benefit from various support offers. The two universities will be offering two workshops each from May 2021. Ideas should be concretized and the project input prepared in the innovation generator. In addition, individual coaching is offered by experienced specialists.

    The first deadline for submission on the innovation generator's website is July 15th. A jury of experts then selects the most original and sustainable ideas. In the subsequent second project phase, implementation steps are planned, including a cost and financing plan. At the end, the jury will vote for the most promising project plans.

    Coop turns a Basel department store into a luxury hotel

    The BâleHotels group, which belongs to Coop, is opening a 4-star boutique hotel in the middle of Basel's old town. The Hotel Märthof will open its doors on July 28, 2021.

    The BâleHotels Group is thus continuing to invest in the Basel location, according to Coop. The BâleHotels Group operates five hotels in Basel, Muttenz BL and Bern.

  • Andermatt becomes a practical field for the Graubünden University of Applied Sciences

    Andermatt becomes a practical field for the Graubünden University of Applied Sciences

    The location sponsors of Andermatt Swiss Alps and the University of Applied Sciences Graubünden cooperate for the purpose of knowledge transfer. According to an identical press release from both organizations, they signed a corresponding agreement on Monday. The aim of this is to build up relevant knowledge through the university and to scientifically support its implementation in practice. In terms of content, the focus is initially on digital customer experience, guest loyalty, data management, networks and sustainability.

    Joint research and service projects are to be implemented in these subject areas. "The cooperation is proof of the high quality of the innovation promotion at the University of Applied Sciences Graubünden and strengthens the exchange with external partners through practical projects", says the rector of the University of Applied Sciences, Jürg Kessler.

    As part of this cooperation, the Andermatt Swiss Alps Group offers the platform to test the results of scientific work in practice. In this way, the holiday destination is to be substantially further developed.

  • Pandemie verzögert Erholung im Schweizer Hochbau

    Pandemie verzögert Erholung im Schweizer Hochbau

    Die Bautätigkeit im Hochbau werde in diesem Jahr um 3,1 Prozent geringer als im Vorjahr ausfallen, prognostiziert BAK Economics in einer Mitteilung zur aktuellen Bauprognose des Wirtschaftsforschungsinstituts. Im kommenden Jahr wird ein weiterer Rückgang um 1,8 Prozent erwartet. Als Begründung weist BAK Economics auf im Jahresvergleich gesunkene Zahlen bei im Bau befindlichen Projekten, Baubewilligungen und Baugesuchen hin. „Diese Indikatoren sprechen dafür, dass sich die Hochbautätigkeit in einem zyklischen Abschwung befindet“, erläutern die Analysten.

    Sie gehen von einem Abschwung in allen Sparten des Hochbaus aus. Dem Wohnbau käme dabei allerdings aufgrund des besonders hohen Anteils eine besondere Rolle zu, heisst es weiter in der Mitteilung. Hier hätten steigende Leerstände zu einem Rückgang der Baubewilligungen seit 2018 geführt.

    Der Betriebsbau werde hingegen vor allem von den Auswirkungen der Pandemie gebremst, da in dieser Sparte Bauprojekte von besonders betroffenen Branchen wie dem Tourismus erfasst werden, erläutern die Analysten. Den Abwärtstrend beim Infrastrukturbau führen sie hingegen eher auf zyklische Effekte zurück.

    Mittelfristig gehen die Analysten von einer wieder steigenden Hochbautätigkeit in allen Sparten und Landesregionen aus. Dem Wohnbau werden dabei schwächere Wachstumsraten als in der Vergangenheit prognostiziert. Gute Perspektiven sehen die Analysten aufgrund gewachsener Bedeutung von Transport- und Logistik für den Lager- und Hallenbau. Regional weisen sie der Region Zürich/Aargau sowie dem Genferseeraum die höchsten Wachstumsperspektiven zu.

  • Graubünden luxury residences should be vacant less often

    Graubünden luxury residences should be vacant less often

    The University of Applied Sciences of Graubünden has examined how the added value of luxury residences that are often vacant can be improved. In this context, the Institute for Tourism and Leisure ( ITF ) investigated the question of how their owners can become convinced renters. In Graubünden they have been “neglected”, writes the FH in a press release . However, because the trend is moving from overnight stays in a hotel to one's own holiday home, this clientele should not be neglected.

    However, the existing data is too thin for a needs analysis. Therefore, in their study, the researchers examined the willingness to rent similar prestige properties. In the global yacht charter market, they identified high administrative hurdles as well as psychological motives as an obstacle to renting out. These include encroachments on privacy and limited flexibility in personal use.

    The most important finding from this needs analysis, however, is "that both the rental of superyachts and luxury residences are a matter of trust". So that the potential of the often vacant luxury properties in the high-priced Alpine destinations can be used, "all tasks that arise must be managed by a coordinator role". It is your job to guarantee that all service participants work together as smoothly as possible. “The rest then comes naturally, because satisfied landlords generate satisfied tenants,” says the message.
