Safeguard your holiday dreams against the exchange rate

The travel and tourism industry is one that is more susceptible to the changes within the global economic environment than most. The decline in travel has been influenced by harsh financial conditions, which have significantly impacted consumer travel behaviour. However, Club Med's strategy has remained the same - to provide premium all-inclusive holidays at competitive rates for families at its 80 resorts across the globe.

Although the foreign exchange market cannot be controlled, Club Med aims to curb the impact of fluctuating exchange rates by giving customers the opportunity to pay for their holiday at a fixed rate. Essentially, once a customer has booked and paid their deposit for their Club Med holiday, the cost does not change, regardless of any fluctuations.

The exorbitant costs of meals, drinks and entertainment associated with travelling abroad remains a deterrent for travel seekers. This understanding drives Club Med to provide all-inclusive packages that accommodate these costs in the absence of limits to consumption.

"Today's fast paced lifestyle offers very little time to do the things we love and we recognise that spending precious time with family and friends is at the heart of what our customers enjoy. Our ideology has always been to provide a beautiful holiday experience that allows quality family time in an exotic location far away from the stresses of everyday life," says Stuart de Bourgogne, MD at Club Med South Africa.

"Club Med offers secure holidays with guaranteed costs so consumers should not put their holiday dreams on hold but rather let us guide them through the process and help create memories that will last a lifetime. As our guest, your only concern should be choosing from the wide array of sumptuous cuisine and drinks while experiencing the range of activities on offer," concludes de Bourgogne.

For added peace of mind and financial security, Club Med urges consumers to take advantage of early booking bonus promotions; booking your holiday early allows consumers to benefit from the best discounted rates.
