During the first half of 2024, Club Med also made significant progress in its Happy Digital pillar and its AI strategy to improve the customer experience and our efficiency.

After the novelties of the first half of the year, our ambition is to continue to elevate our existing portfolio, which is nestled in the most beautiful places around the world, and to open new Resorts in 2024 and beyond, offering our global customers a premium all-inclusive holiday experience - That's L'Esprit Libre.
