Significant progress has been made at the R2 billion Club Med South Africa resort, the first of its kind for the country.
According to Tourism Update, Chris du Toit, the Project Director for the resort, said that the property is set to open in June next year and construction is approximately 50% complete.
“Construction progress has been fantastic. We’ve had a very wet summer, which has posed challenges, but we’ve been fortunate in terms of staying on target by the specific date,” Du Toit said as per Tourism Update.
The Club Med property – along with its sister property, Mpilo Safari Lodge in Northern Zululand – will boast 486 keys, offering more than 175 000 annual room nights, along with a 500-seat convention centre.
Club Med comes to South Africa
Club Med, a French travel and tourism operator headquartered in Paris, was established in 1950. The company owns or operates nearly eighty all-inclusive resort villages in holiday resorts around the world.
The South African resort will help create more than 800 direct jobs, as well as 1 500 indirect jobs and 1 200 construction jobs.
