Testimonial from Mfactor: Switzerland's great diversity!
"If you are looking for top notch event facilities, a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, responsible environmental practices, and stunning natural beauty, you need look no further than Switzerland! Having recently toured Luzern, Geneva and Montreux, I was truly blown away by all that Switzerland has to offer. The people and places exceeded all of my high expectations. I will not hesitate to bring incentive groups to the region and truly look forward to returning to this wonderland."

Testimonial from Carlson Marketing: Switzerland Great Value!
"When we started our search in 2008, our client tasked us with finding a European destination at a great value in 2010. With the exchange rate of the Dollar to the Euro, our initial reaction was to focus on countries that didn't use the Euro, which led us to Switzerland. After sourcing several properties throughout Europe, we kept coming back to Switzerland. Not only were the prices a great value, the fact that Hotels of Switzerland offered a guaranteed USD package rate that included rooms, F&B and some decor only confirmed that Switzerland was a great value and made the most sense. The fact that they were able to lock in pricing for 2010 weighed heavily in their decision. Montreux is the perfect destination for incentive program, offering easy access, fantastic hotels and a wealth of activities to fit every interest.
Although the program has not yet operated, we are confident that it will be a great success with such a fantastic destination and great Swiss organization."

Testimonial from ITAGroup: Switzerland is Europe's most beautiful place!
"As an Event Planner I have several treasured memories of travel through Europe and have hundreds of candidates for the accolade of "Europe's Most beautiful Place" but none are comparable to Switzerland. The unending picturesque historic towns, beautiful countryside, and the unique way the Swiss have balanced the modern and historic is unequaled by others. It is clear the Swiss recognize their most valuable asset as their land and have worked hard for centuries to preserve their country's natural beauty. Practically speaking most of us look for this "Outer Beauty" first when deciding on destinations and rarely look underneath. As an event planner what lies beneath can often be challenging and more important when choosing a destination. Attitudes toward foreigners, service levels, product availability and affordability can all play for or against a destination. The Swiss successfully recognized this and know that without this inner beauty there is not much value to their outer beauty. When both come together like that - You have created a place that elicits awe-inspiring emotions. Switzerland truly is "The Most beautiful place".
