In November alone, commercial turnover almost doubled year-on-year to CHF30.5 million (US$33 million), aided by the relative growth in traffic. In November traveller numbers reached more than 1.1 million, a leap of +355% on a year earlier, but this was still half of the November 2019 number (2.2 million).
