Surprise blow at Hotelplan: Migros boss Fabrice Zumbrunnen (50) has filled the head of the traveling daughter. Laura Meyer (39), a former member of the Hotelplan Board of Directors, will replace Thomas Stirnimann (58) on January 1, 2021. She ran the tour operator business for eight years.
“I am delighted to have found an ideal CEO for the group,” says Zumbrunnen, who is also the Chairman of the Hotelplan Board of Directors. Meyer has been a member of the Hotelplan Board of Directors since 2018. She comes from UBS, where she was most recently Head of Digital Distribution and Analysis. You should now take advantage of this experience at the Migros subsidiary: The travel industry is experiencing an unparalleled structural change in the direction of digitization due to the dire consequences of the coronavirus, according to Zumbrunnen.
Meyer takes over Hotelplan during the crisis
He thanks Stirnimann for his “tireless long-term commitment.” Under his leadership, Hotelplan kept its operational success on the road to success, before the setback caused by the effects of the coronavirus, despite stiff competition.
The crown crisis hit the tour operator industry hard: many trips had to be canceled or re-booked due to travel restrictions. Hotelplan has therefore decided to make significant job cuts: across the Group, up to 425 of the total 2,277 jobs will be cut, around 170 of them in Switzerland. (uro / SDA)
