Dutch Tourism Group International, which in 2018 acquired the Swedish company Touristry with brands such as Stockholm Info, Red Sightseeing and Red Buses, has hired Manuel Lindberg, 45, as the new CEO of the Swedish operations from April 1, 2019. Former CEO Micha Gottfarb is leaving the company at the same time. Manuel most recently came from a role as CEO of Norwegian-owned Amesto Translations, which merged with Swedish Semantix in 2018.

We are very happy to have Manuel on board our team. Manuel has extensive experience in the Swedish tourism and travel industry and has a large network, says Quinten Luykx, Director International at Tourism Group International.

It feels a bit like coming home again after being outside the tourism industry for a number of years, says Manuel Lindberg. Tourism Group International is an exciting company and we will be busy with, among other things, launching new concepts and brands here in Sweden, continues Manuel.
