Club Med is back. Returning to its roots as the creator of the all-inclusive vacation, Club Med has embarked on a major expansion drive, adding three to five resorts to its already bulging portfolio of nearly 70 holiday resorts and destinations. The company has moved upmarket and earmarked $1.5bn to renovate existing resorts and acquire new ones.
The pioneering company, founded as a non-profit in 1950, reinvented itself by pushing its original concept to the upper echelons of the market, sourcing vacationers from a wider demographic and offering more choice in venues and activities.
In tandem with the repositioning of the brand, Club Med is also expanding its Exclusive Collection of premier resorts in some of the world’s most attractive settings. The collection includes a number of features available only to top-tier guests. This way, Club Med was able to tap into high-margin markets. Corporate profits have soared, setting a fifteen-year record whilst operating income grows at a robust 20% annual clip.
In the last 18 months, Club Med opened new resorts in China, Japan, and France. Club Med Cefalu in Sicily – an almost mythical destination and one of the company’s first resorts – has been thoroughly renovated – just opened this month as Europe’s first Club Med Exclusive Collection Resort.
These different openings symbolize 2 of the pillars of Club Med strategy:
