Swiss Olympic and Globetrotter extend partnership until end of 2030

The partnership between the travel company Globetrotter Travel Service AG and Swiss Olympic has existed since 2009. Now the parties have decided to extend the cooperation until the end of 2030 and to plan the future together and in the long term. Globetrotter will act as Swiss Olympic's "Travel Agency" and thus remain the official travel partner of the Swiss Olympic delegations. All air and train travel for the Swiss Olympic teams will continue to be organized through Globetrotter's sports travel department branch, which has been located in the Haus des Sports in Ittigen - the current headquarters of Swiss Olympic - since the beginning of the collaboration.

Another pillar of the partnership is to publicize the new "Swiss Olympic Climate Fund" - a climate protection and funding instrument from Swiss sport for Swiss sport, which is currently in the introductory phase. Payments into the Swiss Olympic Climate Fund serve as subsidies for sports associations and clubs for the implementation of climate-friendly measures or projects. In the future, Globetrotter will recommend the Swiss Olympic Climate Fund as a way to contribute to climate protection for greenhouse gas emissions generated during travel when booking sports trips, thus contributing to a more climate-friendly Swiss sport.

Roger Schnegg, Director of Swiss Olympic says: "We are happy to be able to count on Globetrotter's many years of expertise in the future as well. Their employees know the needs of athletes and are flexible to respond quickly to the concerns of Swiss Olympic and the Swiss Olympic Team when it comes to travel and luggage bookings."

Dany Gehrig, CEO Globetrotter Travel Service says: "We are very pleased to be able to plan and handle the diverse travel needs of Swiss athletes with our sports enthusiastic team. The long-standing cooperation and the associated trust in our sports travel know-how makes us proud."
