In travel, Nazca Capital’s Nazca Opportunities strategy snapped up a majority stake in Madrid Artes Digitales, a creator of immersive cultural experiences that have sold more than five million tickets globally.

Altor, Strawberry Equities and TDR Capital sold Nordic Leisure Travel Group (NLTG) to Norwegian Air Shuttle for roughly SKr7.94 billion ($846 million), a move that will boost Norwegian’s annual revenue by about 50 % and give the combined group 30 million customers.
