Alpenwild wins 2015 Honors

Alpenwild was the recipient of Switzerland Tourism’s 2015 Gold Flower Award. The coveted award is given out every two years at the Swiss Travel Mart and rewards innovation and a high level of professionalism among tour operators in Switzerland. Alpenwild won the award for their expertise in Switzerland, especially for their carefully designed hiking itineraries. The award was presented to Alpenwild owner Greg Witt. In presenting the award, Switzerland Tourism noted that “Alpenwild is able to pick up on new trends and suggestions from travelers and translate them into itineraries very efficiently and effectively, while growing their market share in Switzerland. Their expertise in marketing with inspiring videos on Swiss culture and traditions as well as active travel is remarkable.” In 2015 Swiss Travel Mart was held in Zermatt and hosted 500 tour operators and travel trade journalists from over 50 countries as well as 350 suppliers from Switzerland. While at the Swiss Travel Mart, Alpenwild met with leading hotels, destination representatives, and travel suppliers where they were updated and informed on new travel offerings in Switzerland. Alpenwild is already busy incorporating many of these new products and features into their 2016 tours. Switzerland Tourism is the official National Tourist Office of Switzerland and operates in 30 countries around the world with the goal of promoting Switzerland as a travel, vacation, and convention destination.
