Project Description

From a demand perspective, tourism is a global phenomenon: in Switzerland it accounts for almost3% of the GDP and 4.4% of the total employment (OECD, 2018). The pandemic acted as an accelerator to the inevitable digital transformation the sector should face to optimize local supply offering and international demand allocation. This flagship project has been designed to proactively respond to the challenges of digital transformation by empowering the travel sector at large with (i) reliable data to empower, (ii) new business models, processes and experience and (iii) tools for designing resilient tourism systems. Additionally, a (iv) platform for reflection, valorisation and orchestration of flagship projects and ongoing experiences will be provided fostering the cross-fertilization of communities of practice.
