Covid-19 has had a major impact on various sectors in Switzerland. This is notably the case for tourism. With a view to safeguarding the competitiveness of the sector, the Economic Affairs Committee of the Council of States unanimously tabled a motion last February. The objective: to facilitate future investments for a limited period.
According to the committee, Swiss tourism, severely hit by the health crisis, must benefit from a stimulus programme, notably through the renovation of accommodation establishments. The committee also considers it highly necessary to encourage and plan for a recovery as soon as possible.
