On Saturday, May 5, 2007 the Swiss School of Tourism and Hospitality opened its doors for the 5th annual Food Festival open to the public. The school campus was transformed into a world of specialities, and over 2000 guests were able to taste a variety of national dishes from 18 different countries. The delicious food and the nicely decorated stands spread an exotic feeling and a relaxing atmosphere around the school campus of Swiss School of Tourism and Hospitality.
Most of the students were serving the food in traditional clothes, and helped the visitors to move literally from Canada across to Asian countries such as Korea, Vietnam, India and China and then further to Africa, the Middle East and South America. But of course a number of European countries, such as France, Germany, Turkey and Switzerland, also presented their specialities.

A Jazz band, a students fashion show, a number of workshops such as napkin folding, etiquette or sushi making made this outstanding event a big success once again.



The Food Festival is one out of a number of projects the students work on in teams during the last year of the 3 year program at SSTH. The team is multi-national, linking the German and English speaking students. The Food Festival is one of the most demanding projects, as the team is responsible for the organisation of the event from the beginning to the end. They have to plan the budget and the marketing activities, the organisation of all the students who are involved in preparing the food, and last but not least the organisation of the day itself, with more than 2000 visitors.



Originally, and for more than 10 years, the Food Festival was a school internal event, held inside the school building. It was always crowded due to the big and positive response. Finally the idea to present the skills of cooking, and the number of around 45 different nationalities to the public was born. The event has become more and more popular over the last two years and nowadays people definitely wouldn’t like to miss it. -

Visit us, for a superb tasty experience, at the next Food Festival: Saturday, May 3, 2008.
