Swiss Hotel Association Relies on CONTENS

Montag, 12. Dezember 2011

At hotelleriesuisse.ch, the largest and oldest hotel association in Switzerland has found a new home. The website, which has been completely revised and redesigned, ranks among the top addresses for interested visitors and those working in the Swiss hotel sector.

Founded in 1882, this lobby is responsible for hotel classification in Switzerland and also contributes to further quality improvement within the Swiss hotel business by functioning as a guarantor for credibility and standards. The 3,200 members represent almost two-thirds of all hotel beds and 77 percent of all overnight stays in Switzerland.

A wealth of information

Visitors will find extensive information on the renowned association, its members, which number hotels, restaurants and companies, as well as on the broad range of services available. In addition, registered members have access to a restricted area offering them further information and useful services.

Easy language administration

Due to the trilingual concept of the website, special effort was given to an intelligent language support. CONTENS offers numerous sophisticated features that help to create and manage content, such as pages and page elements, conveniently and clearly structured in several languages. For example, further language versions of existing pages can easily be created via one click in CONTENS. Moreover, it is possible to edit further language versions of a content element directly within this element, provided that the editor has the necessary rights to do this.

Online, just like at home

In addition to a user-friendly navigation, hotelleriesuisse.ch convinces with its overall visually appealing and welcoming design. Members and visitors feel at home right from the start when accessing the website - a matter of course for a quality-conscious hotel association.

Responsible for the successful concept and convincing technical implementation of hotelleriesuisse.ch is the team of CONTENS' partner nextage (www.nextage.ch) in Lucerne headed by project leader Marco Eggenschwiler.
