Tourism structures

Tourism in Geneva is managed by the Geneva Tourism & Conventions Foundation (FGT&C).  This new entity was created following the integration, on 1 January 2013, of the Geneva Tourism & Conventions Association (GT&C) into the Foundation for Tourism.

An executive board of 11 members, mostly representing the sectors active in tourism in Geneva, as well as an advisory board set up by the local authorities, are in charge of ensuring professional corporate governance of the FGT&C. Its tasks include advising the Foundation on the desirable development of tourism policy and assisting it to achieve the objectives set by the law.

The FGT&C manages the proceeds of local taxes and tourism, as defined by the law of the Canton of Geneva. A team of some 50 professionals is in charge of marketing the destination. The FGT&C's missions are to promote Geneva as an active tourist destination for both business and leisure and to welcome and inform visitors.

Supporter of Geneva

GENEVA is a destination brand with dynamic values geared towards digital devices.

Like many world-renowned cities, this identity fits within Geneva Tourism's positioning, which aims to showcase the diversity and quality of the activities the destination has to offer, with the aim of increasing its tourism potential. The use of the city's English name, "GENEVA", emphasises the international nature of the destination and reflects just how recognisable it is. With customisable variations, the brand becomes a powerful promotional tool that can be tailored to new uses, whilst accentuating its original values – lively, elegant, premium and multifaceted – in order to bring it to life and enrich it.
