ONE European country that seems to be popular with Australian tourists is Switzerland.
According to Switzerland Tourism more Aussies then ever are enjoying the delights of the country with visitation from Australia increasing 10% over last year, and last night it celebrated its Swiss Winter Program launch, treating guests to a 5-course degustation dinner at the 5-Star Four Seasons Hotel, Sydney.
“Australians continue to be enthralled with the beauty of Switzerland and are increasingly enjoying travelling there,” said Director Switzerland Tourism Australia Evelyn Lafone.
She said the most popular destinations for Aussie continue to be the Bernese Oberland, Zurich, Lucerne and the Lake Geneva region.
“And what about our old train journeys across the Swiss Alps, city breaks and unrivalled winter sports,” she added.
“The strong AU$, big savings with Earlybird bookings and fast, easy connections from Asia to Switzerland have also helped,” said Lafone.
