Eine Kampagne von Frauen für Frauen, mit dem Ziel, diese zu verbinden und ihnen neue Erlebnisse und Perspektiven zu ermöglichen – insbesondere im Outdoorsport.” Letizia Elia, Leiterin Business Development und Mitglied des Management Board Schweiz Tourismus Die Kampagne in Kürze Im Jahr 2021 setzt Schweiz Tourismus einen Fokus auf Frauen und ihre Bedürfnisse. Die internationale Kampagne besteht im Kern aus zwei Elementen und wird am 8. März (internationaler Tag der Frau) lanciert. • 100 % Women Peak Challenge: Wir bringen Frauen ganz nach oben – nämlich auf alle 48 Viertausender der Schweiz! Im Rahmen der 100 % Women Peak Challenge rufen wir Frauen auf, vom 8. März bis 8. September 2021 die höchsten Gipfel der Schweiz zu erklimmen - in reinen Frauenseilschaften. Die Challenge wird auf einer interaktiven Landingpage peakchallenge.myswitzerland.com verfolgt, auf der die Bergsteigerinnen ihre Gipfelbilder via soziale Medien kommunizieren. • 100 % Women Angebote für Frauen: Gemeinsam mit der Tourismusbranche präsentiert ST auf MySwitzerland.com/women rund 230 Angebote und Events, bei denen es um Frauen und eine weibliche Sicht auf die Schweiz geht. Alle Erlebnisse – die von wenigen Stunden bis zu mehreren Tagen dauern – sind von Frauen geführt, um ihnen und ihrem Tun eine Plattform zu geben und Vorbilder zu schaffen. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf Angeboten im Outdoorbereich, die alle “women-only” sind und in reinen Frauengruppen stattfinden. Vor genau 50 Jahren wurde das Frauenstimmrecht in der Schweiz eingeführt, vor 150 Jahren bestieg die Britin Lucy Walker als erste Frau das Matterhorn.

  • Letter to Prime Minister
    The Rt Hon Boris Johnson The Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 23rd September 2020 Dear Prime Minister, A Green Recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic If it were not for the COVID-19 pandemic, the world’s hearts and minds would have been captured this summer by the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games: events that have "Passing on Legacy for the Future” as part of their core mission. Yet the years where that Legacy will unfold are under acute threat from climate change. In February this year, you confirmed that "there can be no greater responsibility than protecting our planet, and no mission that a Global Britain is prouder to serve”. With the COP26 and G7 presidencies next year, the UK has a golden opportunity to show international leadership on the most important issue facing humankind. We can sit timidly in the pack, pretending that we have no role to play in the unfolding race. Or, like the athletes we would have watched this summer, we can race to win. We urge your Government to act consistently with the recognised need for “urgent action”, by developing a truly Green approach to recovery from the pandemic. In championing this approach, the UK can take confidence from the last months, which have demonstrated the incredible capacity our society has to make huge alterations from “business as usual” in order to protect one another. The economic benefits of pursuing a Green recovery have also received emphatic endorsement from the Committee on Climate Change, the present and former Governors of the Bank of England, and research from Oxford University.

  • Fox Vincent Media Strategic Communications Consultancy PRESSRELEASE
    fox vincent media Strategic communications consultancy PRESSRELEASE Chemmy Alcott Injured Britain’s Number 1 skier, Chemmy Alcott is recovering from surgery after breaking her leg in a high speed crash during downhill practice at the Lake Louise World Cup course in Canada. "We understand that Chemmy fell on the upper part of a steep section of the Lake Louise course and continued to tumble down the piste. She suffered an open fracture and was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Banff,” said British Ski and Snowboard (BSS) Chief Executive, Dave Edwards. “We are currently waiting to hear from the medical team as to the full extent of the injury and success of the operation. Chemmy is a great athlete and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup season, so missing it will be a big blow. Naturally, we wish her all the best and hope that she makes a rapid and complete recovery.” Chemmy was the first British woman to qualify for the World Cup Finals, the first British skier to win a run in a World Cup race and the first British skier to win the British Land National Ski Championships six times in a row. Chemmy has competed in three consecutive Olympic Games, in Salt Lake City, Turin and then Vancouver - at both Turin and Vancouver she finished an impressive 11th place. She is currently ranked in the top 30 in the world for Super G, Giant Slalom and Combined and is an ambassador for British sport, encouraging younger athletes to pursue their dreams.
