Since the opening of our hotel, it has not only been possible to build up a good local team. The hotel has now also become an important part of the region's tourist offer. Together with the AVES Group, we want to continuously expand the range of hotel and restaurant services over the next few years,” says Dr. Martin Meyer, CEO of the ITW Group, about the new partnership in Savognin.
