Twenty One Club Med locations

Today we received training on Club Med and what they have done to upgrade and compete with their product.

As most of you know Club Med was the very first all-inclusive product offering 60 years ago on France.  Because they were one of a kind they did not concern themselves with competition.

Things have changed greatly on that front.  There are many all-inclusive resorts available now in both Mexico and the Caribbean forcing Club Med to take notice when the started to loose market share.

So how did Club Med fight back?  They sold off 30% of their properties and re-invested those funds back into the remaining properties.  They now own 90 properties in 43 countries worldwide.  Club Med at one time only had one option for their rooms because the focus was not the accommodations it was the activities at all the resorts, that has changed for the better.  Club Med now offers 3, 4, and 5 star properties.  They only have one adult only property located in Turks and Caicos that is pretty much the same as it has always been, they have upgraded the lobby area and are considering refurbishing the rooms but have not yet.

Club Med also now has a 5 star all-inclusive 5 masted  sailing vessel club Med 2 that sails the Mediterranean during the summer and the Caribbean during the winter.  The ship is small accommodating 300 passengers with over 200 crew members.  The cabins are larger than most cruising vessels making them more comfortable.  The only items not included are shore excursions and personal items.  The serve premium alcoholic beverages, however if you would like a better quality alcoholic beverage they are available for a nominal fee.

Vacation styles are varied at Club Med and include family vacations, couples vacations, singles & friends vacations, spa vacations, ski vacations, traveling with babies – kids- and teenagers, golf, tennis, scuba diving, watersports, cruises, Caribbean & Mexico beaches

As well as offering all-inclusive resorts around the world Club Med also offers private villas-chalets in Mauritius for sale.  That's right you can own your own Club Med Villa-chalet  located on the outskirts of their resort property Club Med La Plantation d' Albion.  The villa-chalets are 3, 4, and 5 bedroom.
