Baselworld has established a new charter with its hotel partners, covering more than two thirds of the accommodation capacity in the Basel region. For exhibitors and visitors, this means transparency on prices and conditions.
To date, 26 hotels have been classified as “Official Partners”, fulfilling the four selection criteria, namely respecting a price ceiling for a standard double room, including breakfast, not imposing a minimum length of stay, price parity with 2018 and “no compulsion for additional consumption”. In parallel, 14 other hotels are participating in the programme as “Preferred Partners”, fulfilling at least three of the four criteria mentioned.
“We are very pleased to see that many hoteliers have not only embraced but also contributed towards the success of this initiative. They have affirmed Baselworld’s importance, also for Basel as a city, and they want to contribute toward assuring the trade show’s long-term presence in Basel, which benefits both the city and its surrounding areas”, says Michel Loris-Melikoff, Managing Director Baselworld. Felix W. Hauser, President of Basel’s Hotelier Association, confirms: “The hotel partner programme was created in cooperation with Basel’s Hotelier Association. A large percentage of our members view the programme positively.”
The conditions apply for Baselworld 2019 and are retroactive for existing bookings. Accommodation at the listed hotels is not guaranteed and is subject to availability.
