Basel in international comparison

Increasing competition means that locations now have to increasingly present and position themselves in an international environment. City rankings are thereby becoming increasingly important, especially as they enjoy great attention from the media – often regardless of their quality. The location of Basel receives some very different results, depending on the analysis methods and the criteria selected. Unfortunately, some of the major rankings do not consider Basel at all – despite it’s being the third largest city in Switzerland. Basel would thereby cut a very good figure with a proven high quality of life.

Major events with multiple benefits

Avo Session

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.
