September 11, 2011 (FPRC) -- 10th October is Columbus Day in the USA, a national public holiday which is observed to mark the day that Christopher Columbus first set foot on North American soil. Any US citizens with passport or visa problems who would ordinarily head to their local embassy for help and support will find that the Zermatt branch is closed to them on Columbus Day.

Zermatt is a popular destination with travellers from the US who want to experience something a little different when in Europe. The town operates as a base for people who want to head to the ski slopes in winter and many head into Zermatt to scope out the local facilities and hotels prior to deciding on it as the venue for their next skiing trip.

If making for Zermatt in mid-October, visitors will find that there are other sources of information and advice available to them, including a local tourist advice bureau which can help with most enquiries. If in need of a replacement passport however, it will be necessary to stay an extra night in a Zermatt city centre hotel and head to the US embassy the following day.

Lek Boonlert, marketing head of DirectRooms.com says, 'This is useful information for US citizens heading to Switzerland in October, since many people arrive in resorts and do not know about local embassy or consulate opening hours.'
