King & Wood Mallesons advises Jochen Schweizer on its investment in Germany’s largest leisure ticketing provider, Regiondo.

The Jochen Schweizer Group is strengthening its market position in leisure and local tourism through its investment in the Munich start-up company, Regiondo.

With Regiondo’s whitelabel solution „Regiondo Pro“, an operating system for the leisure industry, the booking and administration processes of all Jochen Schweizer companies will be optimized in the future.

Jochen Schweizer will also share the software with its event partners to make automated event-management available. Consequently, Jochen Schweizer’s customers will be able to choose from more than 25 million bookable dates for more than 25,000 different leisure and event offerings.

Jochen Schweizer, founder and active chairman of Jochen Schweizer Group comments: ‘With our strategic participation in Regiondo we are able to round off our portfolio in the leisure and travel market, which we were able to expand with Spontacts and Hip Trips during the last years. Now, we have the chance to technologically combine our leisure experiences, activities and travels. We take another important step towards the digitization of the entire leisure industry. With Regiondo as a partner we are able to offer greater coverage, more capacity and time management to all organizers’.

King & Wood Mallesons advised Jochen Schweizer already on the investments in Spontacts and Hip Trips.
