Dear Sir or Madam
Only six weeks are left until the start of the fourth World Tourism Forum Lucerne. Will you be there when Her Majesty the Queen Mother of Bhutan explains the sustainable development of tourism in Bhutan, when Jeremy Rifkin talks about the zero marginal cost society and when Airbnb explains their simple and effective business idea?
The concept of World Tourism Forum Lucerne with three generations and selected side events like the WTFL Think Tank, a Next Generation day in Andermatt, a career planning session for Young Talents and a start-up innovation award is unique. These are also the reasons why Etihad, Korn/Ferry, PWC, myclimate, Europcar and SECO/Swisscontact have become our long term partners. With BBC we have an international media partner who is convinced of the uniqueness of what we do. We are sure you will be convinced as well if you join us from 23-24 April 2015 in Lucerne/Switzerland.
Kind regards
WORLD TOURISM FORUM LUCERNE |

PRESENTATION OF OUR PREMIUM PARTNERS 2015:
SECO AND SWISSCONTACT |
|
|
By supporting and promoting the importance of sustainable growth, SECO and Swisscontact foster this topic with the World Tourism Forum Lucerne. Higher demand from new markets and requirements for different experiences in the old markets will accelerate the interest for alternative touristic destinations in emerging and developing countries. |
| Representing Switzerland’s development initiative to unlock markets in these countries through trade enabling measurements and private sector development, SECO and Swisscontact do strongly believe in the potential of tourism. Sustainably designed and implemented, the development does not only satisfy the demand but benefits the local people and the competitiveness of these destinations whilst protecting its paleontological, cultural, historical, environmental and social goods.
