Roger Federer and Switzerland Tourism will together develop initiatives to promote Switzerland globally.

Roger Federer becomes an official brand ambassador for the destination of Switzerland. He’s entering into a long-term cooperation with the Swiss national tourism board, Switzerland Tourism (ST). The common goal: attracting guests to visit Switzerland with its energising nature.

Roger Federer and Switzerland Tourism (ST) will together develop initiatives to promote Switzerland globally. “This is a perfect match, because Switzerland and its unblemished nature have clearly contributed to Roger’s unprecedented career,” explains ST’s CEO, Martin Nydegger. 

Roger Federer in a conversation with Nydegger commented, "I have always felt, whenever I step on the court, I am representing Switzerland. Whenever it says my name, there is a Swiss flag next to it. I have been very proud to do that for the first 22 years I have been on tour, and it will always be like that. To join forces with ST now is a logical step for me.” 

Energised by Swiss nature

Communication activities will begin throughout the month of April with a focus on European cities followed by the USA and Asia Pacific, specifically India. A series of visuals and short clips will showcase Roger Federer being energised by Swiss nature. On MySwitzerland.com, guests will be able to discover Switzerland through Roger’s eyes. He presents his preferred places, Swiss highlights as well as hidden gems. “I have been all over the world. My favourite place has always remained Switzerland. It’s the country I miss the most, when I’m travelling,” confesses Federer.

The stage is set

“Switzerland Tourism and Roger Federer share countless values. Establishing this partnership is a unique opportunity and of great importance to us. Making a difference while recovering from the challenges of the past months and beyond will be a journey with numerous highlights," emphasises Nydegger. 

Roger Federer is highly motivated to support his home country, and he will do it for a charitable cause. The compensation for his appearances as new ambassador for ST goes to the Roger Federer Foundation supporting disadvantaged children in Switzerland.
