Key legal question
Whether the outlet shops are located in a tourism area under Art. 25 ArGV 2
Extracted holding
No. A whole canton cannot be treated as a tourism area; the outlet’s local setting in an industrial zone did not meet the required narrowly bounded tourist locality.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 25 ArGV 2 requires a locally bounded place with tourist infrastructure and seasonal tourism of essential importance; the canton-wide and functional-area approach would unduly dilute Sunday work protection.
