Italian and German on equal terms

SEO for hotels in Ticino
Lugano, Locarno, Ascona or the valleys: many guests come from German-speaking Switzerland and search in German. We make sure they find your hotel directly – not only through booking platforms.
The market
Ticino lives from guests looking for sun, lakes and an Italian way of life – a large share from German-speaking Switzerland, plus Germany, Italy and the rest of the world. The main season runs from spring to autumn, peaking at Easter, Whitsun and in summer.
For Ticino hotels, German is therefore often as important as Italian. And competition for “hotel Lugano” or “hotel Ascona lake” is strong – from platforms and from hotels on the Italian shore.
