Switzerland celebrates National Day with red wrapping paper newspaper!
Today, August 15, 2025, Switzerland celebrates its national holiday in a special way. Switzerland Tourism has launched an original campaign in which a wrapping paper newspaper is distributed. This creative idea is attracting particular attention because it is aimed specifically at selected partners from the tourism and MICE industry.
Designed in a striking bright red color, the wrapping paper newspaper symbolizes the relevance of printed media, even in an increasingly digitalized world. With this campaign, the initiators Vivienne Hosennen and Tassja Dâmaso underline the value of analogue exchange and connection in a modern society.
Relevance of printed media
The initiative shows that printed materials continue to be a powerful means of communication. Especially in the tourism industry, which is often characterized by digital solutions, the wrapping paper newspaper brings a refreshing change and promotes personal contact between the players in the industry.
Overview of senior housing
Senior housing is often part of assisted living communities that offer various levels of living and care. When deciding to move into senior housing, there are many considerations to consider, including tax implications and potential resale restrictions.
Financial considerations and housing options
Renting a senior apartment offers benefits such as a short-term commitment and no responsibility for property taxes; However, there are often restrictions when making changes to the property. In addition, there are strict government guidelines for income-dependent senior housing, which do not allow access for all older people. Over 17 million older adults live below 200% of the federal poverty level, contributing to the housing crisis.
There are currently various types of housing solutions available for seniors to overcome this challenge. These include, among others:
- Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8)
- Öffentliches Wohnungsprogramm, das von lokalen Wohnungsbehörden verwaltet wird
- Staatliche Mietbeihilfeprogramme
- Wohnhilfen für einkommensschwache Veteranen
- Unterstützendes Wohnen für Senioren (HUD’s Section 202)
- Privat betriebene, einkommensschwache Wohnungen mit reduzierten Mietpreisen
Applying for senior housing can often result in long waiting lists, although exceptions may apply for those in unstable living conditions or who are homeless. Submitting applications to multiple HUD-subsidized housing units may increase the chances of being selected.
