Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh has been named the Indian ambassador for Switzerland Tourism.
“I had such a great time on my trip to Switzerland this summer. I did some crazy things like sky diving and paragliding. Now that I am the official brand ambassador, I am just raring to go back in the winter and see what it looks like in the snow. It will be so much fun,” Singh said in Mumbai on Friday.
The 31-year-old actor will promote Switzerland Tourism’s campaign for 2017: Nature wants you back.
Known for his effervescence and adventurous spirit, Singh tried an array of activities in Switzerland to get his adrenaline pumping.
From wakeboarding on Lake Zurich to ski jumps at the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne, tobogganing on Mt Pilatus, paragliding and skydiving in Interlaken, he has tried them all, said Claudio Zemp, director - India, Switzerland Tourism.
“His passion and excitement for the country is what compelled us to request him if he would take on the mantle of brand ambassador to which he enthusiastically agreed,” Zemp said.
During his next trip, the Bajirao Mastani star will be visiting St Moritz, village of Titlis Engelberg to enjoy an array of activities and the country’s local culture.
“Switzerland is a perfect place for a complete holiday experience that will leave you spellbound for days. Tourists look for a blend of sightseeing, relaxation and adventure together with easily available accommodation and good food and welcoming hosts,” Ritu Sharma, deputy director, Switzerland Tourism India, said.
