Pascal Jenny is the new president of Arosa Tourism, Roman Geiser on the board of directors
After 13 years as tourism director of Arosa Tourismus, Pascal Jenny is taking over as president of Arosa Tourismus. The outgoing president, Christian Menet, is stepping down after nearly 20 years. Farner CEO Roman Geiser is joining the board.
Christian Menet presented a positive business result to this year's Annual General Meeting, despite the very difficult environment. The balance sheet as at April 30, 2020 shows equity of CHF 500,196, which corresponds to 8% of the balance sheet total.
Winter record course stopped by corona
Overnight stays in the 2019/20 financial year fell by just under 1.4%. This slight decline shows that the lockdown in mid-March and the abrupt end of the winter season prevented a sharp increase in overnight stays in the Arosa vacation region. Those responsible assume that around 65,000 overnight stays were missed. The nevertheless remarkable result is based on rising figures in summer, which has developed into a success factor for Arosa in recent years.
Bear, hiking and biking as a perfect mix
Summer 2020 is likely to close at a record level once again. In Corona times, Arosa's guest focus on "Switzerland" was rewarded. Many guests from Switzerland visited Arosa. According to surveys, the above-average increase in guests is mainly due to the high level of awareness and the Arosa Bear Sanctuary. For families, the most comprehensive all-inclusive guest offer in the Alps was often the reason for choosing the vacation region
Pascal Jenny remains in the boat, Roman Geiser on the Board of Directors
The long-standing President Christian Menet has motivated the long-standing Tourism Director Pascal Jenny to take over as his successor. After almost 13 years of full commitment to his vacation region of Arosa, the tourism expert felt the time had come for him to move from the operational to the strategic level. As Tourism Director, Pascal Jenny will continue to ensure the operational management of the Arosa Tourism team until the end of April 2021. After that, in addition to the presidency of Arosa Tourism and a strategic partial mandate for Arosa Tourism, he will also pursue new professional activities independently in the future.
At the request of Arosa Tourism and Arosa Bergbahnen, Roman Geiser will join the Board of Arosa Tourism as another competent member.
