Htr HotelRevue

What Htr HotelRevue does

Htr HotelRevue is a Swiss B2B trade media platform founded in 1892 and operated as a product of HotellerieSuisse (Schweizer Hotelier-Verein), the Swiss Hotelier Association, with headquarters in Bern. It serves hoteliers, restaurateurs, tourism professionals, and hospitality students and educators across Switzerland, functioning as the association's official news channel and self-described Themenfühlerin (topic leader) for the Swiss hospitality, tourism, and gastronomy industries.

The platform is built around a digital news website (htr.ch) supported by four newsletter tiers — htr daily (Monday–Saturday news), htr weekly (Saturday digest), htr flash (breaking news alerts), and htr plus (premium content) — plus an ePaper digital edition, a physical monthly magazine subscription, themed dossiers and studies, a podcast series (Destination Switzerland), YouTube video content, and a LinkedIn presence. Ancillary commercial modules include the Stellenmarkt (hospitality job marketplace), the Immobilien-Markt (hospitality real estate marketplace), and the annual Hospitality Summit conference, which features the Swiss Hospitality Awards. Distribution leverages association member channels and industry events alongside direct digital distribution.

Htr HotelRevue monetizes through recurring subscriptions (newsletters, ePaper, print magazine) and advertising services (newsletter insertions, website advertising, classifieds), with event revenue from the Hospitality Summit providing an additional vertical. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; newsletter registration is free with opt-in consent, while advertising is sold via direct contact ([email protected]). Geographic reach is domestic Switzerland, and the go-to-market is sales-led B2B media targeting association members and Swiss hospitality professionals.
