Swiss tourism statistics 2014

The aim of this publication is to give a detailed overview of the FSO's Swiss tourism statistics. The first section deals with the tourist accommodation statistics (HESTA) and presents the main results for the year 2014. The topics covered deal with trends in supply and demand at national level and in Switzerland's tourist regions. The second section of this publication concerns the 2013 survey on the travel behaviour of the Swiss resident population. Topics such as the travel destination of Swiss tourists, length of stay and even reasons for travel are covered. The tourism satellite account's annual indicators, in the third section, give information on the gross value added, tourism demand as well as employment in tourism. The fourth section of the publication presents a series of economic indicators making it possible to place the findings from the tourism statistics in a wider context. Marking 80 years of existence for the tourist accommodation statistics, this publication is enhanced by a final section that offers a retrospective of results from 1934.
