Switzerland has been a driving force behind the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Tourism linked to Switzerland contributes to the achievement of the SDGs in numerous ways.
The Swiss SDG Tourism Dialogue strives towards more sustainability in tourism through information, knowledge exchange and collaboration.
