When planning a hiking holiday to Switzerland, it’s fair to say that there are more options than you could possibly imagine. From dramatic mountain passes and scenic valleys to easy walks and demanding alpine treks, choosing the perfect route isn’t always straightforward. With so many destinations, multiple options in each one and different levels of…
Why personal visits matter in our Swiss hotel partnerships. For Swiss Tailor Made, the partnerships we have with our Swiss product partners are essential. For them to operate successfully, it’s vital that we spend time visiting them in person, whether it’s a luxury 5* hotel like the Waldhaus Sils Maria or one of our transport…
Representing Die Zentralbahn at ITB Berlin Several months ago, I was asked by our partners at Die Zentralbahn whether I would be available to represent them at ITB in Berlin in March. It was a great honour to be asked, and I was delighted to be able to oblige. Along with several other Swiss railway…

In addition to Fam Trips, where our Tour Operator clients are invited over to Switzerland to experience our amazing portfolio of destinations, hotels, and excursions at first-hand, there are also several events held here in Switzerland to which our network of Tour Operators are also invited. We’ve just returned from this year’s Switzerland Travel Mart…
There is no better way to showcase your products, destinations, hotels and rail journeys than with a Familiarisation (Fam) Trip. Over the years, I have designed and hosted too many to remember, with every single one of them great fun to organise and even more fun to host. However, they are always very much a…

Things are getting slightly quieter on the sales side after what was (hopefully) a very busy period during the first quarter of the year. However, Product Departments are all busy trying to ensure that everything is ready for the brochure…
