Join Millennials in Travel, Switzerland Tourism, and Kuoni Tumlare on our first ever sustainable focused FAM!
As millennials, we recognize that responsible travel leads to a smaller footprint. This awareness has led to a new approach to travel – one that inspires visitors to do their part to preserve the world around us. In doing so, we protect the opportunity to experience authentic destinations, highlighted by natural beauty, local culture, and regional flavors. Switzerland is one of the world’s leading countries in sustainability. With an expansive rail network of 9,600 trains traveling roughly 3,000 km each day, a wide range of organic products, superior air quality, expansive clean water systems, and recycling and nature conservation programs, it’s no wonder this destination has achieved this status.
Our Switzerland FAM will introduce you to the breathtaking landscapes, friendly people, and local flavors of this captivating country, all while traveling in the most convenient and eco-friendly way possible – by rail! Our DMC host, Kuoni Tumlare, is a destination management company with over 100 years of experience, a global footprint, unrivalled local destination knowledge, and rich expertise. Kuoni was founded in Switzerland in 1906, inspired by the mission to foster connections across cultures.
