Destination Management to establish Kuoni Events in Switzerland
Kuoni Destination Management is further expanding its product and service range: our destination management division is to establish a new Kuoni Events unit in Switzerland that will offer global meeting, incentive, conference and event (MICE) and congress organisation services. In launching the new products, Destination Management is underlining its strategy of expanding its services to Swiss-based companies who are seeking a professional event management partner at home and abroad. Kuoni Events Switzerland will be headed by Dieter Rumpel, who will move from his present position within Kuoni Switzerland to assume his new duties on March 1.
The new Kuoni Events Switzerland unit will organise tailor-made meetings, high-value incentive programmes, congressesand conferences and further events of all kinds. The extensive services offered will cover the full range from concepts and planning to seeking suitable venues, compiling social programmes and coordinating all the associated logistics.
Kuoni Events Switzerland will be staffed by a team of skilled and qualified professionals with extensive experience in the MICE field. The team will be headed by Dieter Rumpel, who assumes his new duties on March 1. Dieter Rumpel is a proven and experienced specialist who can draw on excellent customer contacts in the Swiss market. He is currently Head of Business Travel German-speaking Switzerland & MICE Sales at Kuoni Switzerland; and, prior to this, he held various executive positions at Galileo Switzerland and BTI Switzerland. He is thus the ideal appointee to this key strategic function.
Kuoni Events will operate from Zurich and Geneva, to ensure that the same quality standards and product ranges are maintained in both German- and French-speaking Switzerland. Dieter Rumpel and his team will report to Miroslav Bauer, the Zurich-based Vice President Sales Europe & USA.
“We’re delighted to extend our product range to offering event services in Switzerland,” says Rolf Schafroth, CEO of Kuoni Destination Management. “And, in taking this step, we’re not only putting a clear focus on a very attractive market segment; we’re putting it on our important home market, too.”
We wish Dieter Rumpel and his team every success and satisfaction in their new unit and with the work and the challenges ahead. (gyk)
