Ambassador of the month

Every month, we portray one ambassador who gives his or her view on what is best about Jönköping and how he or she markets Jönköping to others. The ambassador of the month is Herman Larsson.
Congratulations!
- Thank you very much!

Tell us a little about yourself.
- Where do I start? I have been married for 28 years and have two almost grown up children, one of each. I am originally from Gällstad in Västergötland, but moved to Gräshagen in ‘78. Six minutes by car to my job at Jönköping Airport and cycling distance to the centre — perfect. Right now, I am working as an ‘odd-job man´ at the airport with responsibility for marketing, communications and business development, and I really enjoy it! I have worked with flights and the like all my adult life. I qualified as an air-traffic controller, but changed career after a while. 

Are you into flights in your spare time too? - No, no. Then it´s travel and a bit of joinery on the house, but this year I´m going to try the hammock! But I´ve said that before... I am also involved in a few groups that work on developing the visiting industry. The incoming charters from Germany are close to my heart, and I also believe in developing the Vättern concept. Vättern with all its gems must be one of the most ‘touristic´ places in Northern Europe.

What happens next?
- Right now, we are launching ‘the new Jönköping Airport´. The opportunities are endless. The Sky is the limit!
