Switzerland Tourism ST makes the most of the opportunities offered by Promotion to market the many faces of Switzerland worldwide. Typical examples in 2019 were the campaign ads for Summer, Autumn, Cities and Winter. However, content marketing formats like key stories or cooperative projects, like the one with the Saks Fifth Avenue department store in the North American market or with lemonde.fr, are included in the measures.

The four pillars of marketing
The marketing model for Switzerland Tourism ST is based on the four pillars of marketing.
