Funding for tourism
Making Glarus even more attractive to visitors
Tourism is a key industry in Glarus, which is why the Federal Government and Canton of Glarus specifically target their support at tourism-related projects. Innovation and collaboration improve the quality of the tourism infrastructure and create a real competitive advantage. The following five key areas are our top priorities:
- Improving existing services
- New products and sustainable projects
- Collaboration across political and institutional borders
- Quality assurance and certification
- Further education and training
Projects are supported across the entire canton, particularly in regions with significant tourist potential. One particular focus of the Cantonal Tourism Strategy 2020-2023 is strengthening the VISIT Glarnerland marketing organisation.
