The association was founded on 11 February 1882 as the Schweizer Hotelier-Verein (SVH). [1]

The member companies of HotellerieSuisse account for two-thirds of Switzerland's accommodation establishments [2] and generate around three-quarters of the corresponding overnight stays. [2] As the umbrella organization of 13 regional associations, [3] HotellerieSuisse is present in all parts of the country and language regions and employs around 70 people in Bern. [2]

Agendas

HotellerieSuisse supports its member companies in their business management, in ensuring the availability of qualified specialists for the industry, and in advocating for industry- and employer-friendly framework conditions at a political level.

Tourism is also one of Switzerland's five most important export industries. [4] As a representative of a sub-sector of tourism, HotellerieSuisse is a member of various umbrella organisations and maintains strategic partnerships in the tourism sector.

Areas of activity

HotellerieSuisse is also a shareholder of the Switzerland Travel Centre  [ de ] AG. [6]

Hotel rating

In 1978, the association introduced the hotel rating system in Switzerland. [7] A new rating system for awarding hotel stars has been in force in Switzerland since 1 January 2011. [8] The Swiss hotel rating system is based on a catalogue of standards drawn up by HotellerieSuisse together with European partner associations. [9] The harmonised hotel rating system is run by the Hotelstars Union, which was founded in 2009. [10] It is held under the auspices of HOTREC, the European umbrella organisation for hotels, restaurants and cafés in Europe. HotellerieSuisse is a founding member of HOTREC.

Education is a central concern of the association. HotellerieSuisse is the founder of the Thun Hotel Management School and a minority shareholder of the Swiss School of Tourism and Hospitality [11] as well as the founder of the École hôtelière de Lausanne. [12] HotellerieSuisse is also one of the supporting organisations of Hotel & Gastro formation, [13] which, as an OdA, is, among other things, an examination organiser and provider of various training courses leading to a federal diploma or a federal professional certificate. The sector records around 3,500 completed apprenticeships and around 800 higher professional education qualifications every year. [14]
