Ten years ago, I was in the process of finalising arrangements for our move to Switzerland. The United Kingdom had just made the decision to leave the European Union and, whilst nobody was quite sure at the time what the consequences of Brexit would be, I was certain that our move needed to happen sooner…
Building strong relationships with our UK tour operator partners remains one of the most important parts of what we do at Swiss Tailor Made. Whenever possible, those relationships are built face to face, and every business journey we make reflects our commitment to the Swisstainable programme. Travelling by public transport is one of the ways…
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…

As our friends at Switzerland Tourism (ST) will confirm, the minute the email goes out asking for commitments for a booth on the Switzerland stand at WTM, I’m the first name on the list. It’s difficult to describe how important WTM is for Swiss Tailor Made, so it’s therefore perhaps easier to simply say that…
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…
