As Club Med, part of the Fosun Tourism Group, marks its 75th anniversary in 2025, the renowned resort brand is kicking off a series of global celebrations that pay homage to its French heritage and the vacation concept of L’Esprit Libre (the Free Spirit). The celebrations began recently in China, where the owners hosted a grand party themed “That’s 75 Years of L’Esprit Libre” at the Club Med Lijiang Resort for over 100 guests.
The event at Club Med Lijiang introduced guests to the French art-de-vivre and outlined the brand’s ambitious global expansion plans. Attendees had the opportunity to immerse themselves in a range of activities that embodied the essence of the Club Med experience, including yoga, archery, French cuisine, fireworks, and captivating night shows. Excursions beyond the resort also allowed guests to connect with the local nature and culture of the Lijiang region.
Andrew Xu, co-president of Fosun Tourism Group and global deputy CEO of Club Med, shared the company’s vision for the future: “Looking ahead, we will continue our global expansion, strengthen our market leadership through unique premium experiences, drive innovation in the vacation industry, and deliver the happiness of vacations to more guests.” This commitment to growth and innovation aligns with Club Med’s rich history and its enduring mission to provide unforgettable holiday experiences for travelers worldwide.
