Club Med Celebrates
Club Med celebrated its 65th anniversary in fine fashion last night at an industry function at The Old Mill in Toronto, highlighted by the launch of its 2016 Trident brochure.
Carolyn Doyon, senior vice-president of Club Med Canada and Mexico, kicked off the evening by inviting guests to “press pause” – the name of the 2016 Trident brochure.
“Overall, 2015 was a very successful year and for that you should be congratulated. In Canada, we experienced a 12% increase in individual activity over the winter season and a 5% increase during the summer,” she said, adding Ontario was particularly impressive with 14% growth for the current winter compared to last year.
Doyon noted that the groups and ski markets are showing well for Club Med.
A seven-minute video retraced the history of the Club Med brand, which was launched in 1950. Today, Club Med has 65 all-inclusive resorts worldwide.
On the horizon for Club Med, the Zen Oasis – an adults-only resort within a resort – will open its doors in December at Club Med Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. The expansion includes 78 new rooms designed with serenity in mind featuring spa-like bathrooms boasting rainfall showers, large soaking tubs, chromatherapy lighting and L’Occitane products.
