Government President Conradin Cramer (LDP) said that he was "boundlessly delighted" and could not stop smiling. The spirit of Basel was ultimately convincing. It will be a celebration - not only for the people who have a ticket for the main events.
The hotels in Basel are already fully booked during the ESC days, said Franz-Xaver Leonhardt, President of the Basel Hoteliers' Association, to the Keystone-SDA news agency.
Basel will host the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in May 2025. Geneva lost out in the selection process, as announced by SRG on Friday. The decision was met with great joy in Basel, while Geneva, which lost out, was very disappointed.
