The French team has won the 7th Switzerland Meeting Trophy organized last weekend by Switzerland Tourism (Switzerland Convention Incentive Bureau).
This unconventional rally, which has now become an essential summer event for meeting and incentive travel specialists, gave 85 participants the chance to discover Switzerland and its meeting facilities on a route going from Bern to Lausanne via Gstaad, Montreux and the Lavaux region.
Eight national teams, representing Great Britain, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, North America, the Nordic countries (winners of the last two editions) and Russia, took part in the rally from 8 to 10 July.
All these countries are growth markets for Switzerland in the segment of meetings and incentives.
Traveling through towns, over mountains, across a glacier (Glacier 3000) and over Lake Geneva, whilst also visiting UNESCO World Heritage sites like Bern and the Lavaux vineyards, the teams were able to appreciate the wealth of leisure opportunities and the quality of meeting facilities offered by the small country of Switzerland.
