Focus groups – Staying up to date

Since the founding of VISIT Glarnerland, there have been so-called focus groups for various service provider groups. The aim is to achieve better networking with VISIT Glarnerland, but also among the service providers themselves. The focus groups meet 1 to 2 times a year. In addition to exchanging information, they also discuss topics, ideas and concerns and follow them up.

Would you also like to get involved or do you have a concern?
