Swiss hotels booked more overnight stays than ever before in January. Especially foreign guests are increasingly coming to Switzerland. (symbol image)

It is also possible to see this: According to the statement made by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) on Thursday, the total number of overnight stays in Switzerland increased by 2.2 percent in January compared to the same month last year, reaching 3.1 million. There were more overnight stays in January than ever before.

The driving force of the increase was primarily guests from abroad. There were 1.4 million overnight stays in January, an increase of 4.0 percent. The most important group of guests came from Germany with 105,000 overnight stays, followed by the USA (65,000 overnight stays), France (54,000) and the United Kingdom (51,000).

However, for Swiss guests the figure was only slightly higher at +0.6 percent. With 1.7 million overnight stays, they still made up the majority of all guests in January.

Overall, the Swiss hotel industry continued last year’s guest record smoothly. With 41.8 million overnight stays, more than 40 million overnight stays were counted in a year for the first time in 2023. (SDA)
