The Hotel Boom in Zurich 2019 2
The hotel boom in Zurich 2019 2 Foreword Over the last few years, we have been observing rapid growth in new hotels in the Zurich region. Competitive pressure is challenging the industry, and at the same time, there is increasing uncer- tainty among hoteliers: “Where is this heading?” or “Hotel boom? So what? We can’t do anything about it anyway.” The next question is always: “How much longer can we maintain our prices?” The reasons for this development are obvious. Around the world, city tourism is on the rise, the economy is thriving, Switzerland is more popular than ever as a travel destination, and Zurich is the city with the world’s second best quality of life (Mercer city ranking). Among other things, this is why Zurich has become Switzerland’s largest tourism region over the last few years. The situation bears witness to the well-known economic principle that additional demand is met by an increase in the supply of rooms. At the same time, the structural challenges in our industry still remain. The shortage of skilled labour will be exacerbated by new hotels. There is an increased risk of necessary investments being deferred because of potentially falling profits. The high cost structure and the currency situation are meanwhile applying further pressure to margins, which gives no hope of higher returns for investors. The driving factors of the construction boom, as described in the following study, are not factors that hoteliers can actually influence. Despite this, we have to ask ourselves what the business consequences of this development might be. -

Schelbert: Adelrich Steinach's Swiss Colonists: An Introduction ADELRICH STEINACH' S SWISS COLONISTS: AN INTRODUCTION Among the millions of immigrants to the United States the Swiss constitute only a small group. Their involvement in the emergence of the United States to date has been portrayed only selectively or in relatively brief encyclopedic entries. 1 But a vast number of essays and books on individual men and women, families, and settlements do exist.2 The book Geschichte und Leben der Schweizer Kolonien in den Vereinigten Staaten von Nordamerika, however, compiled in the 1880s in collaboration with the North American Griitli-Bundby the Swiss physician Adelrich Steinach residing in New York City, is an early attempt at presenting an overview of the involvement of Swiss in the history of the United States. -
