2019 International Report on Snow & Mountain Tourism
Overview of the key industry figures for ski resorts - April 2019 - 3 -
Laurent Vanat is an international expert in ski business and ski resort management. He gained his experience first in Switzerland, benchmarking the largest resorts and starting a comprehensive collection of visitation data in 2004. His work resulted since winter 2004/05 in the Swiss end of season report. In order to benchmark Swiss ski resorts with their fellows in the Alps and North America, the Swiss report initially gave a very short overview of these respective markets. The demand for international benchmarking data was however growing, as the demand for extending the scope of countries covered. Thus, starting in 2009, a broader overview of international ski markets was presented in a dedicated report. The later grew from the initial 7 countries reported in the 2009 issue to 71 in 2018. Today, the International Report on Snow & Mountain Tourism is acknowledged worldwide as the reference for ski industry figures. Since 2016, it is yearly translated into Chinese and 2018 saw an exceptional French version, to mark for the 10th issue of the report. Data from this report has already been presented on the occasion of numerous international meetings, including the OITAF congress in Rio de Janeiro, those of UNWTO in Andorra, Almaty, Tbilisi and Ulsan, ALPITEC / ISPO in Beijing, Mountain Planet in Grenoble and various meetings of the FIS. It has been quoted by numerous press articles, reports and other Medias and has been a reference in several conferences and TV interviews. Beside his dedication to follow up the ski business, Laurent Vanat has his own consultancy practice specialising in business management and planning.
