Marijana on her election as CEO,“I am looking forward to taking on my responsibilities as the CEO of STMT. St. Moritz is close to my heart and we wish to showcase everything that the destination has to offer and welcome new guests from India in St. Moritz. In recent years, India has become one of our top ten markets worldwide. Many regular guests from India have strong ties to St. Moritz and the Engadin Valley. We will continue to work closely with Indian travel agencies and sales & marketing representatives with an aim to attract the growing number of new-age travellers who are more adventurous and seek immersive sensory travel experiences. Our strategy is to continue capitalizing on India’s continuously expanding market opportunities to tap into the vast potential it presents through trade partnerships, FAM- and business & development trips, creative marketing collaborations and more.”
