The association for the development and the promotion of rural-tourism in Switzerland, rural-tourism.ch, gathers small independent service providers. They may be divided into 3 service-categories: lodge, enjoy (the local cuisine) and discover (the nearby rural surroundings). The association rural-tourism.ch has the ambition to develop and promote all the possibilities to enjoy rural-tourism in the whole country. The association rural-tourism.ch comes after the Competence Center for Rural-Tourism based in Lausanne, which was beneficiary of a financial aid from a Swiss Federal Government program (“Regio Plus”).
