Club Med

Club Med, founded in 1950 and now part of Fosun Tourism Group, is a French premium all-inclusive resort operator running roughly 70 properties across the Mediterranean, Asia-Pacific, the Americas, the Indian Ocean, Africa, and the European Alps. The portfolio splits into three tiers: the core all-inclusive resorts (for example Punta Cana, Cancun, Bali, Phuket, Gregolimano), the higher-end Exclusive Collection (Espaces Jiwa, private villas, 5-trident resorts), and a distinctive ski collection that covers around 20 all-inclusive ski resorts in the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps plus Japan and China. Packages typically bundle accommodation, open-bar and gourmet dining, supervised kids' clubs, most sports with qualified instruction, and (at ski properties) lift passes and ski lessons.

Typical weekly booking values for two adults run USD 3,000-USD 8,000 on beach resorts and USD 4,000-USD 12,000 on Exclusive Collection or flagship ski weeks, which makes even a mid-single-digit commission rate meaningful on volume. Creator fit is strong for family travel, ski content, luxury-all-inclusive comparisons, honeymoon and anniversary packages, and dedicated France/Asia-Pacific travel blogs. Club Med runs frequent promo calendars (early-booking discounts, kids-stay-free windows, resort-specific flash sales), so content that tracks seasonal deal drops converts well. The brand's multi-generational and active-leisure positioning differentiates it from pure adults-only operators like Sandals.

Club Med's affiliate program is run through major networks rather than a direct in-house portal; active listings sit on CJ Affiliate and on Awin, and regional teams may manage separate geo-targeted advertiser instances (for example a UK advertiser on Awin and a US advertiser on CJ). Publishers apply via their chosen network's publisher signup (CJ: signup.cj.com/member/signup/publisher/), then submit the Club Med advertiser application from inside the dashboard. Club Med's team reviews site fit and typically approves travel, lifestyle, family, or ski-focused publishers. Approved affiliates receive tracked deeplinks, banners, and seasonal creative.

Commission is up to 4% of the confirmed stayed booking value on standard terms, with top-performing publishers negotiating higher tiered rates. Cookie duration is publicly cited at 45 days click-to-booking. Commission validates after the guest has travelled, so payout lag depends on lead time between booking and stay. CJ pays on its net-20 monthly cycle via direct deposit, check, or Payoneer with USD 50 / USD 100 minimums; Awin pays monthly via BACS, wire, or ACH in the publisher's currency at the Awin GBP 20 minimum. Self-bookings, trade-agent bookings, and cancelled or no-show reservations are excluded.
