In recent years, Russian tourists have reduced their time in Switzerland. According to the national representation of this country, last year the total number of guests from Russia who visited Switzerland fell by a third. If a year earlier the number of tourists amounted to more than 532 thousand people, then last season turned into a decrease in the number of travelers by 156 thousand people.
Although the share of tourists from our country in previous periods was not significant (1.9-2% of the total mass of guests), local authorities still hope to return Russians to their open spaces. And for this, many operators are ready to invest a lot of money, develop products that will be attractive to guests from Russia - Switzerland Tourism said.
So, recently in Russia, you can see representatives of certain regions of Switzerland, who pursue the goal of conveying to potential tourists all the advantages of certain corners of this amazing country. For example, in February everyone could attend the presentation of the canton of Ticino, which was one of the most popular regions for travelers from Russia last year.
It should be noted that Ticino is located on the picturesque shores of Lake Maggiore and is interesting for everyone who is not indifferent to Italian culture. It is here that guests will have the opportunity to plunge into the amazing mixed world of Italy and Switzerland, taste pizza prepared according to the best recipes, and get acquainted with a rich variety of traditions, customs and attractions.
