Together for sustainable development

Authenticity, regional roots, the use of regional products and active hospitality have always been very important to us. Together, we go one step further and are committed to a consistently sustainable service chain. We have firmly anchored sustainability (link to sustainability page) in our business strategy and have developed a concept that enables the Private Selection Hotels to develop together into a sustainable future. This includes, among other things, the even more consistent use of regional and seasonal products, the sensitisation of guests through information and sustainable hospitality, the increase of workplace attractiveness for employees in the hotels as well as measures to achieve climate neutrality.

Link to commitment, that each member hotel has given for sustainability.

We have also placed our focus on sustainability in the area of offer development. Sustainable travel combines awareness and profundity with local enjoyment, indigenous culture and authentic experiences.

The sustainability concept was developed with the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, and the ongoing transformation process is being accompanied by the HSLU in close cooperation and supported by Innotour.

Appeals for employees

With joint talent management and our activities in the areas of employee attractiveness and talent development, we support you in the problem of acute shortages of skilled and unskilled workers.

Course in cooperation with the SHL - Swiss Hotel Management School Lucerne: The course with certificate "Professionals in Service Excellence" offers newcomers and career changers the opportunity to quickly further their education in the hotel industry through a practical training programme and to obtain the "Professionals in Service Excellence" award within 12-18 months.

Here you will find the benefits for all "Selected Friends" - the team members in the member hotels. Employee attractiveness is very important to us - with our "Social Media Film Competition" for apprentices, for example, we received a lot of interest and were able to place dozens of apprentices with our appearance at ZEBI (Cental Switzerland Education fair) - and the hope for enthusiastic young hosts!

Partner network

Thanks to our strong partners, we reach millions of potential guests. With exclusive offers for Swisspass holders or homeowners, Touring Club members, Weltwoche readers or BMW drivers, we are always winning new, enthusiastic regular guests. CSS-insured persons benefit from support payments for short stays. Close cooperation with various publishing houses, insurance companies, associations and service clubs generates contacts, awareness, new guests and turnover.

 

Exchange of information and promotion of innovation

Once a year, hoteliers and hoteliers meet for a 2-day general meeting, where a lot of know-how is imparted and experiences are exchanged. Speakers talk about burning issues, synergies are used, purchasing advantages are discussed and ideas are debated. Also held annually is the Business Development Conference, which is open to all management staff from all departments and takes up topics on the sustainability process, digitalisation, staff retention and marketing. An online expert discussion takes place every two months. Via TEAMS, all interested parties meet to talk to an expert and discuss topics such as "revenue management in times of inflation", "social media marketing used more intensively as a group", "is artificial intelligence needed on the website and if so, which and how integrated" - or quite banal: The training lesson on G4 (Google Analytics 4).
