The Canton of Basel-Stadt contributes to the further development of convention-related tourism. Conventions are specifically acquired, developed and held, thus accessing a potential not yet exploited with benefits beyond tourism.

The objective of convention promotion is to increase the direct and indirect added value generated by conventions. Additionally, a further strengthening of Basel as the most innovative economic location and center of knowledge in Switzerland is targeted. By promoting conventions, we want to contribute to Basel remaining one of the most important trade fair and convention cities in Europe.
