The Resilient Tourism Flagship supported by Innosuisse aims at accelerating the datafication of the travel sector in Switzerland in order to create resilient digitally supported services, business processes and business models.
This website is dedicated to the activities and projects that are included in SP4 "Coordination, Orchestration and Communication", led by EHL Hospitality Business School and University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons (FHGR).
To learn more about the Flagship and the other subprojects, please consult the main website for the project.
SP4 - Coordination, Orchestration and Communication
SP4 aims to amplify the outputs of the first three subprojects by generating dialogues within and beyond the primary stakeholders, as well as fostering the digital transformation of the Swiss travel sector.
These objectives are based on the implementation of four different activities:
Annual Conferences
Travel Innovation Living Lab in Canton de Vaud
Thought Leaders Platform (Podcast and video series)
Travel Digital Transformation Hub
1. Annual Conferences
The SP4 team organizes yearly events to discuss about the Flagship project progress and bring together all project partners.
The first annual conference takes place on February 24, 2023, at EHL Lausanne Campus. As it is the first time that project partners will meet, this event remains private to the partners.
The full partner list is available on the main Resilient Tourism website.
The Travel Innovation Living Lab is a joint effort between EHL Hospitality Business School, the Service de la promotion de l’économie et de l’innovation (SPEI) and Vaud Promotion to support the digitalization of the Vaud travel sector. The purpose is to offer coaching to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to drive innovation in the sector.
In November 2022, the three organizations have launched the first call for projects. The selected projects will benefit from CHF 5’000 and 6-month coaching from the EHL network or external consultants.
Results will be announced soon.
