Tourism Measures for the integration of Jewish guests in Davos

A specially convened task force has drawn up a catalog of measures for dealing with Jewish guests in Davos. This is intended to promote understanding between the Davos population and international guests and prevent misunderstandings.

The measures are a reaction to "misunderstandings" between the population groups, the task force called "Communication Process in Davos" wrote in a press release on Thursday.

The most recent scandal occurred last winter when a mountain restaurant in Davos no longer wanted to rent snow sports equipment to Jewish guests. Various "annoying incidents" had led to the rental stop, according to a letter in Hebrew that was posted at the restaurant.

In collaboration with the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities (SIG), ten measures have now been drawn up to ensure mutual respect. Among other things, a contact point has been set up for Jewish guests. The information material on rules of conduct will also be revised.
