What are the strengths of Club Med Business?
Alexia Augier-Vettier - For almost forty years, Club Med Business has built on the values that have made our brand so successful: conviviality, multiculturalism and good humour. We organise almost 950 events a year - half of which are seminars, the other half incentives - all of which benefit from personalised follow-up with a single contact person and the support of a team of events specialists. Unity of location is also a strong point of our offer. It means that work sessions, team-building sessions, meals and social events can all be held in the same village. The village can also be privatised and decorated in the company's colours to reinforce the unique character of the event.
What are the ingredients for a successful corporate event?
A. A.-V. - A quality seminar service must be able to accommodate teams in rooms with modern facilities, coupled with professional and responsive teams. We also offer an "all-inclusive by Club Med Business" package, so there are no unpleasant surprises. This guarantees a tailor-made event and a controlled budget. Customers can then focus on their work sessions without necessarily going through an events agency.
Are you feeling the effects of the crisis on the sector?
A. A.-V. - The strong trend we're seeing concerns last-minute bookings in particular, which are on the increase. Companies are taking more time to approach different service providers and compare offers. Incentives are not necessarily a priority in times of crisis. However, many customers who had cut back on this expenditure in 2010 have reintroduced it once they have seen the positive impact it has had.
