The number of overnight stays rose by 2.1% in February, as reported by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) on Monday based on an initial estimate. There was an increase of 2.1% for both foreign guests and domestic tourists.
This means that demand remains at a high level. In 2025, the Swiss hotel industry reached a new high with 43.7 million overnight stays. In January, overnight stays had already risen by a further 2.6% compared to the same month in the previous year.
The FSO will publish the absolute figures for overnight stays in February on April 7.
