As for many, the past year did not go particularly smoothly for Hoteplan. 

The Swiss travel company experienced the worst year in its almost 86-year history. Expressed in figures: Migros' travel subsidiary achieved net sales of 732 million Swiss francs (minus 38,4 percent). As if that weren't enough, the company has also announced that it will close 75 of its 86 branches in Switzerland by the end of February. That reports the View. The reason for the closings is the home office obligation. And the fact that there is simply not much going on in the travel industry. But: The branches of competitors Tui and Kuoni will remain open until further notice. In order to keep in touch with customers in personal contact, the tour operator has submitted eleven so-called hub branches. These are: Genève Balexert, Bulle, Lugano, Thun Oberland, Schönbühl, Buchs AG, Steinhausen, Glattzentrum in Wallisellen ZH, Abtwil as well as Tourisme Pour Tous Sion and Signature Voyages Lausanne.
