Lodging (destination) in Switzerland in 2026 will only experience slight growth, underperforming relative to other European countries due to persistent labour shortages that restrict hotel operations despite robust consumer spending and a stable macroeconomic context. The attractiveness of lodging (destination) is tempered by these operational constraints, which have led to a shift in traveller preferences towards short-term rentals and self-catered apartments, particularly among leisure guests and those on extended stays seeking reliability in the face of limited hotel availability. Successful strategies increasingly centre on driving longer stays, enhancing per-guest spend through authentic experiences, investing in automation and smart technology to offset staffing challenges, and embracing sustainability to capture demand from eco-conscious travellers and to mitigate risks associated with climate change. Operators that adapt by offering flexible, year-round packages, leveraging digital innovation, and targeting domestic and regional guests accessible by rail or car are best positioned to sustain profitability as inbound demand from distant markets remains unpredictable.

Lodging (Destination)
Lodging (Destination) covers the main types of lodging used by inbound and domestic tourists, providing a destination point of view (also known as point of supply). Lodging value is measured in terms of the price paid for lodging by the consumer and businesses based on total room sales. It does not include food and drinks or any other form of revenue that is not directly related to lodging, such as events and conferences and guest services, such as gym, spa, shop, room service, restaurant and café. Lodging volume is measured in terms of number of outlets and rooms at year end, and room nights as total of the full year.
