The domain Gstaad.com is back in the possession of Gstaad Saanenland Tourism
Gstaad Saanenland Tourism (GST) is pleased with the resolution of the dispute over the Gstaad.com domain. On Tuesday, the parties reached a settlement before the Commercial Court in Bern, which provides for the transfer of the domain to Gstaad Saanenland Tourism.
Since 2006, the domain Gstaad.com has no longer been owned by the tourism organization. Anyone accessing the address would be directed to the website of a luxury chalet rental company. Thanks to a settlement agreement, the domain must now be transferred back to GST within the next 30 days. The parties are keeping the details of the negotiations confidential.
"I am delighted that the domain now belongs to the vacation destination of Gstaad again. I consider this agreement to be very important for the international and success-oriented marketing of Gstaad," says Tourism Director Sébastien Epiney. "Gstaad Saanenland Tourism is extremely pleased that an agreement has been reached." Anyone accessing Gstaad.com in future will once again land on the website of the vacation destination Gstaad.
In the long-running dispute over the domain, the municipality of Saanen also joined GST as a co-plaintiff. (pd/hae)
