Vision
The International Bern Welcome Desk is the contact and liaison centre for the international community based in Bern, and the point of contact for stakeholders in and around Bern who have dealings with the international community. Through its public mandate and its function as a hub, the International Bern Welcome Desk contributes to Bern's attractiveness as a political, economic and tourist location.
Mission
We welcome, accompany and inspire the international community in Bern.
Official Partners
The International Bern Welcome Desk was set up by the Swiss Confederation, the Canton and the City of Bern. The official contact and liaison office for the international community is affiliated with the DMO Bern Welcome. In this way, synergies can be utilised and added value generated for Bern and its regions. Together we bring the Bernese way of life to life!
The services of the International Bern Welcome Desk are only possible thanks to the support of the official partners and beneficiaries.
