The Switzerland Convention and Incentive Bureau (SCIB) is a national non-profit-making organization, representing the leading conference destinations, national event organisers, as well as transport companies. As a central inquiry contact, SCIB offers free-of-charge independent assistance in planning your event in Switzerland. The SCIB Representation of UK and Ireland is based in the city centre of London.
Switzerland is, unreservedly, a top tier destination. For incentive qualifiers, it offers an incredible variety of experiences. Its topography even has in-built marketing and promotional attributes: think ‘Peaks of Excellence’. Thanks to the short distances, your clients can play in the morning in the sun-kissed snow (all year round on one of our glaciers), have lunch on a scenic rail journey in a historic train, enjoy Swiss wine and specialties in stunning surroundings in a vineyard before sailing across an azure blue lake for dinner in a medieval castle.
Five unique and different experiences all in one day, that’s what makes Switzerland one of the most desirable incentive destinations in the world.
Switzerland is also a conference destination with a long tradition and fine reputation. Conference organisers and participants benefit not only from this positive image and top infrastructure but also from the spectacular setting and the high quality of life. That is why Switzerland is often host to international congresses and world-famous events. The World Economic Forum in Davos, for instance, is attended by, amongst others, 35 head of states. The International Motor Show in Geneva and the Watch and Jewellery Show BASELWORLD are just a few of the many leading events which have used Swiss Cities to host their events for many years.
Exceptionally easy access is another big selling point of this little, landlocked island in the heart of Europe. Switzerland is easy to reach from anywhere in the world thanks to extensive flight connections from its three international airports. In addition, you can benefit from the lowest VAT in Europe, which is easily claimed back by companies registered outside of Switzerland.
