Club Med - the granddaddy of all-inclusive resorts - is alive and well and coming to Quebec.
Daniel Gauthier, Chairman of the Board of Groupe Le Massif, and Xavier Mufraggi, President and CEO of Club Med North America, have officially announced the opening of the first Club Med resort in Canada.
“Today’s announcement is in direct alignment with the continued development of this significant project that will position Le Massif, Charlevoix, among one of the greatest international destinations,” says Gauthier, the initiator of the project.
“It’s often said that you’ll only ever find a Club Med resort in the most beautiful places in the world. Charlevoix doesn’t need to have a Club Med to be included on this select list. That said, it is an honour and privilege to be amongst those creating worldwide awareness for this spectacular part of the country,” comments Mufraggi.
Club Med is the world leader in all-inclusive mountain hotels and resorts with more than 20 sites already established in France, Italy, Switzerland, Japan and China, counting for more than 6,000 rooms.
The project represents a $120 million investment with the objective of developing 300 rooms at Le Massif.
Groupe Le Massif and Club Med aim to offer a four-season product that emphasizes Quebec’s strongest touristic features of the region from Quebec to Tadoussac.
The project forecasts the creation of 325 direct jobs and 400 indirect jobs. The construction of the hotel will generate nearly 700 jobs. The agreement with partners guarantees a mutually profitable endeavour for all.
Club Med and Groupe Le Massif have plans to open this new resort by the end of 2020.
