Club Med and Ensemble Travel Group announced a partnership that they said would both bolster the resort company’s commitment to the travel agent community and increase Ensemble members’ all-inclusive product line in the family and multi-generational segments.
A similar successful relationship was previously established for Ensemble members in Canada. Now, with a new U.S. national distribution agreement between Club Med and Ensemble, U.S. agents who are Ensemble members will benefit similarly.
Members receive access to Club Med’s global portfolio of 71 resorts. They also will receive brand updates and training through a series of webinars and in-person agency visits by Club Med's team of 12 regional business development managers.
