Aiming to consolidate and further boost the double digit growth of 16 per cent in tourism, the Switzerland Tourism on Wednesday launched its winter campaign.

Ritu Sharma, Deputy Director (India) of Switzerland Tourism, said: "Although Indians love to go on a vacation during the summers, we do hope for a change after this campaign."

"With an initial focus on the winter tourist, Switzerland Tourism will showcase the multiple options like skiing, sledging and snowboarding for the active traveller. For the more relaxed visitor looking for pure white relaxation in winter, there will be Christmas markets, open air hot springs and igloo stays," the statement added.

The summer focus for the campaign too, will be packed with an array of activities such as sky-diving, wakeboarding and canyoning.
