  • Climate Change and Tourism in Switzerland : a Survey on Impacts, Vulnerability and Possible Adaptation Measures
    Climate Change and Tourism in Switzerland : a Survey on Impacts, Vulnerability and Possible Adaptation Measures Cecilia Matasci, Juan‐Carlos Altamirano‐Cabrera 1 Research group on the Economics and Management of the Environment ­ Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, CH­1015 Lausanne, Switzerland, [email protected] The tourism industry is particularly affected by climate change, being very climate‐ and weather‐ dependent. Moreover, particularly in the Alpine region, it is specially exposed to natural hazards. Nonetheless, this industry is an important pillar of the Swiss economy, providing employment and generating income. Then, it becomes essential to reduce its vulnerability and starting implementing adaptation measures. In order to do so, it is important to define which areas face which problems and to recognize vulnerability hot spots. This motivation comes from the prospect that the largest environmental, social and economic damages are likely to be concentrated in vulnerable areas. This article presents an overview of the current state of the knowledge on the impacts, the vulnerability and the possible adaptation measures of the tourism industry in relation to climate change. Moreover, it presents different methods that could help assessing this vulnerability, referring in particular to the Swiss situation. This is the first step toward the establishment of the vulnerability analysis and the consequent examination of possible adaptation measures. Keywords: climate change, adaptation, vulnerability, tourism, Switzerland Introduction Climate change is a global phenomenon, but its effects occur on a local scale. Moreover, these effects have a clear impact on economic activities. An example of an activity heavily affected is tourism. Tourism is closely interlinked with climate change both as culprit and as victim.

As a result, authorities around the globe have expressed their needs for better tools to monitor the spread of the virus and to support human labor. Researchers and technology companies such as Google and Apple have offered to develop such tools in the form of contact tracing applications running on smartphones. The goal of these applications is to continuously track people's proximity and to make the smartphone users aware if they have ever been in contact with positively diagnosed people, so that they could self-quarantine and possibly have an infection test.

  • WELCOME to the SWISS ALPS
    ENGLISH בס"ד SWISSָ ALPS ===ש ֹׁום ֲ the ֵע ליכֶ to ם===WELCOME Insights into Swiss Customs 2 Welcometo to Switzerland Welcome Switzerland Switzerland is home to some most beautiful places, and especially the Swiss Alps are a popular destination for numerous Jewish travelers – you can discover many touristic attractions. There is a Jewish headcount of around 18,000 (around 0.2% of the total population) with a thriving Jewish religious life at different synagogues in several cities. This guide is intended to provide you with an overview not only on kosher food and synagogues, but also other important things which can be helpful during your visit. This guide is not a halachic guidebook. It may also be helpful to prevent frictions between Jewish tourists and the locals. Such frictions unfortunately have led to some very unpleasant reports about Jewish tourists in Switzerland. This is why we want to emphasize how essential it is to become familiar with Swiss culture and local codes of behavior when you prepare visiting Switzerland. We all represent the Jewish people, and this is a responsibility which we must take seriously. Thus we hope that this guide will help to clarify some of this kind of issues, and help everyone to have an even better vacation experience in Switzerland. We wish you a very pleasant stay! 3 As products sold in regularKosher supermarkets do Food not have hechsherim, please refer to the kosher list which specifies all available kosher products in Switzerland. There are two main supermarket chains – Migros and Coop –, and at least one of them is present in almost every village.

The three countries that are not members of the EU, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland have also implemented the Schengen rules. The Schengen zone now includes a population of over 450 million people and the area of 4,312.099 square kilometers. The implementation of the Schengen rules includes the elimination of border crossings within the Schengen zone and strengthening of its external border.

  • Regular Postal Stationery
    Imprinted stamp designs unique to Postal Stationery Richard Donithorn Further to the short articles on Imprinted Stamps in the December 2011 and July 2012 editions of the Society’s Newsletter (p.82), this article and the related illustrations are a special tribute to the rarely mentioned creators of stamp designs that have only appeared in imprinted format on postal stationery of various kinds. A full schedule of such stamps, their designers and the postal stationery item they have appeared on is set out below. This is a schedule of all the stamps and their designers (where known) that have only appeared on postal stationery – covers and cards (including PTT Museum, Stamp Day, Stamp Exhibition and Bundesfeier cards) newspaper wrappers, parcel labels and an aerogramme. The schedule is intended primarily to give more recognition to the artistic talents of the designers of these stamps. The author would welcome any information on the identity of the 'unknown designers' and any suggested improvements to the schedule generally. The first number for each item in the schedule is the year it first appeared. The designer's name is in italics. The letters ‘BM’ denote that the stamp designer's name is shown in the bottom margin of the stamp. The letters ‘DM’ denotes that there is a DataMatrix barcode printed to the right of stamp. The letters ‘TP’ denotes the words Taxe Perçue are on or adjoining the stamp. Regular Postal Stationery Non-illustrated cards and covers with imprinted stamp (cards blank for message on the reverse) have been generally available since 1870 (covers since 1867).
