INDONESIAN tourists’ interest in visiting Switzerland continues to increase, despite the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of 2020.
“Searches for flights from Indonesia to Switzerland and hotels in Switzerland have also increased since the 2019 pandemic by almost four times, as has the increase in transactions,” wrote Traveloka in an official statement recently.
The highest period for travel to cheese and chocolate producing countries generally occurs during the year-end holidays from November to December. The enthusiasm for traveling is also visible in the summer, between May and June.
The five activities most popular with Indonesian tourists in Switzerland include the Swiss Travel Pass, Swiss Half Fare Card (half price access for train, bus, boat, and cable car tickets), Interlaken and Grindelwald Tours, Zurich city tours and tours, and Lindt Home of Chocolate in Zurich.
