Sustainable Tourism Days 2025 and 2026

The two-day networking event Sustainable Tourism Days 2026 focuses on active knowledge exchange and networking around tourism sustainability. One year earlier, in 2025, more than 500 tourism professionals met at Bernexpo. Strong collaboration was a central theme. The organisers’ conclusion: “Sustainable development only has an impact when stakeholders work hand in hand.”It’s a mindset that Bern Welcome embraces as well.

“As part of the Sustainable Tourism Days, we can count on the support of the Bern Convention Bureau in organising hotel room allocations for our participants. The collaboration is professional, efficient and friendly.”
