  • What it means for Ascona-Locarno

  • “For Ascona-Locarno, being recognized as a Swisstainable Destination is both an important acknowledgment and a concrete commitment to the future. Sustainability, for us, means valuing the region, its natural beauty, and its local operators - while respecting the environment, the local community, and future generations. It also means promoting innovative projects, eco-friendly services, and accessible experiences, all as part of an ongoing, shared journey.”

The Swisstainable sustainability programme brings together companies and destinations from across the Swiss tourism sector and enables destinations to commit themselves in a structured way to sustainable development.

As a Swisstainable Destination, Ascona-Locarno adopts a holistic approach to sustainability – environmental, social and economic – and integrates these principles into the destination’s strategy, involving operators, institutions and local communities.
