The measures are a reaction to“misunderstandings” between Jewish guests and the local population, which the task force called a“Communication Process in Davos” in a press release on Thursday.

The most recent scandal occurred last winter when a mountain restaurant in Davos no longer wanted to rent snow sports equipment to Jewish guests. Various“annoying incidents” had led to the decision to stop renting equipment, according to a letter in Hebrew that was posted at the restaurant.
