Marketing program 2024
Obwalden Tourism looks to the future with confidence. We are pleased to present our planned marketing measures for 2024. The following marketing program offers you various opportunities for joint activities and collaborations.
For partners
Here you will find comprehensive information and support for joint marketing needs. We are happy to support you in registering for various campaigns, ordering brochures and reporting overnight stays. You will also find information on the classification of vacation apartments and guest rooms as well as options for renting out and professional photography of your accommodation.
Brochure order for partners
Do you still have enough brochures for your guests? Do you not? Then we will be happy to take your order via our order forms.
Overnight stays registration form
As a landlord, you are obliged to report your accommodation statistics to us. You can find the registration form for overnight stays here.
With the introduction of the new Tourism Act on January 1, 2013, the collection of visitor's tax has become obsolete for landlords. For internal statistical purposes, however, Obwalden Tourism is still dependent on recording overnight stays in hotels and parahotels. The accommodation statistics are an important tool for us. On the one hand, it gives us an insight into the needs and booking behavior of our guests and, on the other, allows us to make a rough assessment of the market. With your information, you actively help us to target our marketing measures and meet the needs of our mutual guests.
We would also like to refer you to the Tourism Act Art. 22 Para. 1 & 2, which regulates the obligation to provide information and notification: www.ow.ch
You can use the following forms to provide us with information on overnight stays. We guarantee that we will treat your figures as strictly confidential and for internal use only. The figures will not be passed on to third parties.

Photographer for vacation home
Meaningful photos are crucial for guests when choosing accommodation, as prospective guests like to get an idea of the living situation, furnishings and standards in advance. A picture is worth a thousand words - and good, appealing pictures can lead to more bookings.
Classification vacation apartment
In Swiss tourism, vacation apartments are an attractive addition to the hotel industry. Find out more about the advantages of a vacation apartment and guest room classification.
In Swiss tourism, vacation apartments are an attractive addition to the hotel industry. The official Swiss vacation apartment and guest room classification is managed by the Swiss Tourism Federation (STV). There are currently around 23,000 properties classified with one to a maximum of five stars superior. The quality is regularly checked by means of spot checks.
A classification system has been created for vacation apartments, guest rooms and bed and breakfasts. A specified number of points must be achieved in each category and the general minimum requirements must be met.
