Major events with multiple benefits
The support of the existing organisers of major events and the acquisition of new major events are important tasks of the Department of External Affairs and City Marketing. Top-events bring guests and increase local turnover, but also promote the awareness of Basel and improve the image of the city – thereby achieving additional added value.
The Canton of Basel-Stadt, as well as the major infrastructure operators and event organisers make major national and international events possible, and reinforce the reputation of being a first-class event location: whether Swiss Indoors Basel, the Basel Tattoo or the AVO Session Basel – as a central contact location, the specialist Major Events office supports the planning and implementation of high-profile and well-attended events.
