The Quality Label for Swiss Tourism is a certification for quality standards provided by the Swiss Tourism Federation. Founded in 1998 a total of 4034 establishments have already been awarded. There are three levels of the quality label. Its objective is to raise the awareness of quality in businesses, to foster collaboration between the various providers. The Quality Label gives the certainty that the company or the establishment have dedicated themselves to hospitality and specific quality standards. Any company in the service sector in Switzerland is able to be awarded with the Q-Label. Management and staff members of these Q-enterprises commit themselves to stick to the definitions of the requirements provided by the Swiss Tourism Federation for each of the three Q-Levels. These touristic enterprises allow themselves, in the context of the Quality Program, to be judged by customers and bring improvements if necessary. Currently awarded properties are hotels, restaurants, local public transport services, mountain railways and taxi companies.

“The quality of mercy is not strained,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.”

—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Realistic about how much one person can accomplish in a given day, women expect to have to make some trade-offs between work and family. Families, however, have absorbed all the stress and strain they possibly can. The entire responsibility for accommodation is taking place on the home side of the equation.”
—Deborah J. Swiss (20th century)
“In the middle ages people were tourists because of their religion, whereas now they are tourists because tourism is their religion.”
