Tourist attraction – Groups no longer welcome public
The success of the “Badis” goes hand in hand with the tourist appeal of Lucerne. who recorded a record of more than 2.4 million nights last year. These public baths are very attractive. offering a breathtaking view of the chapel bridge, the Pilatus and the KKL groups no longer welcome public concert hall. The Gault-Millau even recommends them for their kitchen.
According to Anne Sophie Fioretto. geographer and project manager at the HES-SO Valais Tourist Institute, the prohibition of groups can represent a short-term solution to deal with this crowd. However, she believes that this kind of actions “should not necessarily multiply in the future”.
“On the contrary. I would really encourage cities to anticipate the reception of their target audience and their groups and to set up strategies that allow them to bring them at other times, in order to avoid these peaks of attendance which are problematic,” she said at the microphone of the 12:30 p.m. RTS.
