And Adam Fang are the two directors for this Yabuli project. 

 

 

 “Yabuli region is well known for its rich natural resources and its large variety of trees, plants and mushrooms. The design concept for the 1st Club Med in China 

is based on the nearby “5 flowers mountain”, where elm, oak, walnut, plum and maple trees grow and provide a rich palette of colors all year round. 

 

These colors are complemented by wood grains, seeds and fruits that are present throughout the Resort. The colors are dynamic and vibrant, surprising and inviting.” says Margaux. 

 

“Club Med Yabuli Resort is a welcoming resort nestled in the midst of nature, Its interiors are contemporary yet warm and comfortable. The Resort decor is a cornucopia of plants and trees, where spices, seeds, grains, roots from the region will be displayed, as well as French illustration of plants. The Yabuli Resort is a botanical home, mixing exoticism with French flair.”

 

The shape of things to come

Club Med continues to move onward, expanding its selection of luxury Resorts in idyllic locations around the world, each with its own unique architecture, influenced by local traditional charm.  

 

These projects will be developed under management contracts but will carry Club Med’s trademark spirit, ambience and conviviality, including its renowned international buffet cuisine, wide range of entertainment, sports, relaxation, a close-to-nature environment and family-friendly facilities.

 

To complement its growth in China, Club Med has developed a new marketing strategy to strengthen its position in the upmarket, all-inclusive holiday segment. A multi-channel distribution network will be set up with preferred partners to effectively cover the large Chinese market. A Club Med store will be opened in Shanghai this year with a partner travel agent, followed later by another store in Beijing and sales offices in new cities every year.

 

The Group will open a dozen ‘Club Med corners’ this year in travel agencies in Beijing and Shanghai. A Club Med website with booking engine in Chinese will also be introduced online.

 

“China is a major growth driver for Club Med, potentially representing 200,000 customers by 2015,” said Mr Henri Giscard d’Estaing, Chairman of the Board and Chief Excecutive Office of Club Med. “It could become the Group’s second largest market after France.”
