Destination Management · Switzerland
How we work with international planners
You bring the objectives, the group and the budget. We bring the local knowledge and the team on the ground, and we stay accountable for the programme from the first conversation to the last guest departure.
01
Understand the brief
We start with what the programme needs to achieve: your group, dates, budget and the experience you want people to have. No formal RFP required.
02
Design the programme
We shape the agenda, the pace and the moments in between around your people, the season and your goals.
03
Source local options
We shortlist venues, hotels, activities and suppliers that fit, and confirm availability, pricing and terms before anything is booked.
04
Coordinate delivery
Transport, guest logistics, timings and suppliers are coordinated by one Swiss team, so you have one point of contact instead of many.
05
Stay accountable on site
Our team is on the ground on the day, running the programme until the last guest departs.
Why a local DMC
Planning from the US or elsewhere abroad, you could book venues, hotels, transport and activities one by one. A local DMC brings them together as one programme, run by a team that knows the destinations and is there on the day.
Booking everything separately
—
A separate contact, contract and timeline for each venue, hotel, transfer and activity.
—
Your team connects the pieces from another time zone.
—
Local questions of access, capacity and season land on your desk.
—
When something changes on the day, you coordinate it remotely.

The neutral default when a brief needs immediate Swiss impact, reliable access and enough range to support leadership, incentive or conference formats.
Betreat field note
Peak leisure periods put pressure on iconic venues, hotels, boats and mountain excursions, so early holds matter.
How Betreat Intelligence works
Most sourcing starts with a static list. We start with the constraints of your brief, then test them against current conversations with hotels, venues and experience partners, and seven years of event data and delivery experience.
An initial destination fit based on the brief. Availability, pricing and exact feasibility are validated by the Betreat team. Map outline simplified; positions approximate.
The Swiss Partner Desk
Your Swiss operation. Under your name.
For international agencies that need reliable Swiss sourcing, logistics and onsite delivery without building a local operation from scratch.
Your client remains your client. Betreat works within the role, visibility and reporting structure you define.

Questions planners ask
What does a DMC do in Switzerland?
A destination management company is your local partner on the ground. Betreat designs the programme, sources venues, activities and suppliers, coordinates transport and guest logistics, and runs delivery on site, as one accountable team.
Where in Switzerland does Betreat work?
We are based in Zurich and work across Switzerland, including Zurich, Lucerne, Geneva, Basel, Davos, Interlaken, Montreux, Lausanne, Locarno and alpine destinations such as Flims, Crans-Montana and Verbier. Explore our destinations.
What kinds of programmes do you deliver?
Corporate retreats, incentive travel, team building, conferences and forums, and leadership offsites. See our services or selected work.
We are planning from the US. Do we need a local partner?
Not necessarily, but a local partner takes on the hardest part of planning from abroad: knowing which places suit your group, which suppliers to trust and how the logistics work in practice. You keep the decisions; we handle the local work and stay accountable on site.
Do you work with event agencies?
Yes. Through the Swiss Partner Desk, we support international agencies with Swiss sourcing, logistics and onsite delivery: white-label, co-branded or Betreat-led. Your client remains your client.
Which languages does your team work in?
German, French, English and Spanish.
How do we start, and does a brief commit us to anything?
Share what you already know through Build My Event: group size, dates, destination ideas and goals. No formal RFP is required. A brief does not create a booking; we confirm availability, pricing and terms with suppliers before anything is booked.
