Anton Bon - The pioneer of the Swiss tourism industry

Anton Bon

The pioneer of the Swiss tourism industry

One of the great Swiss hoteliers of the turn of the 20th century, who earned acclaim in Europe and overseas. Exceptional hotels were created under his close scrutiny in Rigi Kaltbad, Vitznau and St. Moritz, skillfully managed in keeping with the philosophy that guests’ comfort must be the absolute priority. Combined with establishments perfectly merged with the natural landscape of lakes and mountains, this business approach attracted international clientele with deep pockets. The smart hotelier gained a quantifiable financial benefit, contributing at the same time to the growth of tourism and sports – particularly skiing – in places he operated in.
