0. Good100 / GoodFestival Mission

The Good100 showcases were launched in October 2016 at the 1st Edition of GoodFestival with a simple mission - present the best of Switzerland to the world and invite the best of the world to Switzerland.

Initially, the Good100 program and the GoodFestival were 100% physical events and now everything we do is digital first from nominations to verification to seminars to pitches to the Good100 medal itself. And we offer the physical event to everyone who is in Switzerland or planning to be in Switzerland to discover Swisstainable Tourism together with MySwitzerland, Swiss / Lufthansa, and the Swiss Youth Hostel network. We provide special offers on the widest selection of airlines, hotels, hostels, excursions, and trains starting with the GoodFestival at The Olympic Museum in Lausanne - this is Innovation Tourism.
