The enchanting all-season experience offers the most diversified portfolio of activities for a mountain resort, surrounded by Québec’s regional wonders. The resort features an unparalleled waterfront panorama in a preserved natural landscape, ideal for an amazing ski-in ski-out experience and full roster of activities, both indoors and outdoors. Designed with packages, services and accommodations for families, couples, singles, friends and Meetings & Events groups, the 4-Trident (4-star) resort features 302 rooms and an Exclusive Collection (5-star) space with 25 Suites. Club Med Québec Charlevoix is on track to open its doors on December 3, 2021.

Club Med Québec Charlevoix, Canada’s first taste of Club Med’s all-inclusive expertise
Bringing its established ski expertise from Club Med’s Alpine ski resorts to Canada, Club Med Québec Charlevoix’s all-inclusive winter packages ensure peace of mind and a robust experience, including all-day gourmet dining and open bar options with local and international specialties, as well as après-ski activities and entertainment. Ski and snowboard passes and classes encourage every guest to hit the slopes, no matter what level. Guests can take advantage of a full roster of activities included in their stay: snowshoe and Nordic walking, ice-skating, indoor pool access, fitness classes, cardio and weight room access, yoga and meditation and the quintessential Club Med circus classes, with juggling, fixed trapeze, acrobatics and trampolining.

Young families can feel at ease with the resort’s accommodating services for children of every age including ski classes available for kids as young as four, under the helpful guidance of Club Med’s dedicated staff (known as G.Os – or Gracious Organizers), and tailored après-ski activities. Club Med’s Amazing Family programming offers weekly activities designed to allow families to reconnect together through fun and engaging games and activities.

The resort’s wellness spaces offer a variety of experiences for guests to unwind, including a 75-foot-long heated pool, the biggest pool in a Club Med mountain resort, boasting a magnificent view of the St. Lawrence River.  There is also a kids splash pool for playtime, outdoor jacuzzi and hammam, allowing for a more complete relaxation.

For an added level of tranquility guests can partake in an à la carte well-being experience inspired by Nordic spas, including a terrace with warm and cold baths, a sauna with a panoramic river view, massages and treatments and a charming snow fountain.

A range of packages to suit every getaway

«Opening bookings for our new Canadian resort is an incredible milestone for the Club Med brand as we strive to make all-inclusive, all-season mountain vacations more accessible for international travelers,» says Carolyne Doyon, CEO and President, Club Med North America. «By introducing our successful mountain resort model from the Alps and bringing our expertise to Québec’s Charlevoix region, we look forward to giving travelers the opportunity to roam freely and fully immerse themselves in one of the most unique and spectacular skiing destinations east of the Rockies.»

Interior spaces to magnify exterior beauty and enjoy a premium resort experience
Guests can choose from Superior, Deluxe and Suite accommodations, each designed to echo the character of the region: Superior rooms channel the colors of Québec’s expanses– winter white, twilight blue and yellow sun play on the environment of the Boreal Forest; Deluxe rooms feature elements akin to the warmth of ancestral homes – blond wooden floors, lofty ceilings and lower walls that call on barn doors, painted carmine red; Exclusive Collection Suites experiment with textures – leather, wood, fur, knitted wool – in a modernized setting. Nestled at the top of the resort, the Exclusive Collection Space, Le Saint-Laurent, offers incredible views, exclusive amenities, and premium services.

The design motif extends throughout the resort’s varied dining options: the main restaurant, a gourmet marketplace, nods to Québec’s history with harvesting, fishing, breeding and hunting for food; Le Chalet features a specialty restaurant, lounge bar, wine cellar and gourmet market, all within an intimate atmosphere; Terroir & Co offers an entertaining dining experience for families, where parents and kids prepare and share a meal together, including participative fondues and raclettes with local Québec cheeses and charcuteries. The main bar, at the heart of the resort, is a colorful multifunction space that evolves throughout the day, from a daytime lounge to an evening entertainment center, hosting shows and parties.

Designed to reflect and ignite the joie de vivre of the region
The modern design concept, developed by Québec City-based architectural and design firm, Lemay Michaud, is a nod to a Québec quilt: an amalgam of colors, textures and shapes inspired by the four seasons that characterize the province. The resort reinterprets and integrates elements from Québec’s traditional architecture, a testament to its adaptation to winter climate, use of local resources and storied craftsmanship. The curvature of the building shows a will to naturally follow the curves of the terrain, to enjoy the sunlight as much as possible, and to offer spectacular views of the picturesque surroundings from the interior spaces.

Winter in Charlevoix is much more than just a ski vacation
As the only waterfront ski resort in Le Massif, Club Med Québec Charlevoix boasts exceptional distinctions, offering the most spectacular skiing east of the Rockies. However, the outdoor fun extends far beyond skiing, with an extensive portfolio for adventure. Guests can take (à la carte) advantage of the wealth of activities in the region, including dogsledding, snowmobiling, ice-fishing and even ice-canoeing. Immerse yourself in the Québec culture and tap into the province’s distinct joie de vivre for the full experience, complete with Charlevoix’s finest culinary delicacies: local cheeses and cold cuts, microbrewery beers, ciders and of course, maple products.

«Charlevoix is known for its pristine beauty, warm hospitality and charming culture,» says David Meyer, Project Director, Club Med North America. «Shaping Canada’s first Club Med within this region has been a complete privilege and we are looking forward to highlighting Charlevoix’s heritage and character within every facet of the resort, staying true to Club Med’s values of social responsibility and sustainable touristic development.»

Opportunities for the region
In partnership with Groupe Le Massif, Club Med has created a superior recreational vision that will bring a significant economic impact to the region; with an average of 50,000 guests per year. Stakeholders within the region will see benefits from increased tourist activity, and the creation of 325 direct and 400 indirect jobs. Club Med is also working directly with local businesses on a variety of partnership opportunities. 

As a part of Club Med’s dedication to minimizing its ecological impact, it is pursuing two recognized sustainability certifications for Canada’s inaugural resort. The brand hopes to be the first hotel structure in North America to comply with strict BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environment Assessment Method) environmental standards and is diligently working towards sustainable operations management of the resort in order to become Green Globe-certified by opening day.

YICHANG, China, Dec. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — As of November 15, 2020, the «Travel to Hubei with Love» campaign has been carried out for 100 days, and the comprehensive benefits of Yichang tourism are constantly increasing. According to data released by The Culture and Tourism Bureau of Yichang City, 41 A-level scenic spots in Yichang had received 6.059 million tourists as of November 18, 2020. The city also received reservations of 204,000 tourist groups, ranking first in Hubei province.

«Listen to me sing, my friend; sing about a young lady scolding a wooer…» Boating on the Qingjiang river, one can always hear long shouts from both sides of the river, loud and vigorous, brimming with full enthusiasm. Looking around, one only hears the sound but does not see the singer, with the lingering sound reverberating in the mountains.

The unsophisticated singing is Changyang Folk Songs, which have a history of more than 3,000 years and a wide range. The singing comes straight to the point and takes the lead, with the vibrato having a strong special tone and wild flavor. In 2008, Changyang Folk Songs were included in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Cao Feng, a performer of the folk songs, is the representative inheritor of the 10th batch of Yichang municipal intangible cultural heritage projects.

On top of Yichang’s Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, folk songs and dances are everywhere. «When spring goes to summer, it is autumn again. The storm and waves fade away the years, and the lotus forest bids away spring and welcomes autumn…» Immersed in the sounds of Sanxian, Erhu and Pipa, Wang Mingjun, an inheritor, sings against the background like a frame of freehand brushwork. A few words can make people intoxicated with the charming Qingjiang scenery.

In the Wuluo Zhongli Mountain Square, where the ruins still exist, Bashan folk dancing springs to cheerful rhythms. Whether the people dancing, or people watching, everyone’s face is filled with happiness to the bright dancing clothes.

Walking along the Qingjiang Gallery, the national 5A scenic spot, one will be greeted by the rich Batu culture, such as Tujia folk dancing, Xilankapu ethnic costumes, Tujia delicacies and traditional handicrafts…

In recent years, Yichang of Hubei province has integrated the Yangtze River culture into the development of tourism, conducted in-depth research on the cultural connotation of the Yangtze River, promoted the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional culture, and relied on tourism to show and enhance cultural charm, which not only makes the culture come to life, but also injects sustainable impetus into tourism.

In the Three Gorges scenic area, the weeping marriage performance with strong Tujia ethnic characteristics, after rearrangement, brings a new experience for tourists with a more interactive sense.

In the scenic area of Qu Yuan’s hometown, 10 non-heritage exhibition halls, including Dragon Boat Festival Customs Hall, Qingtan Folk Customs Hall, Liu Zhihua Wood Carving Studio and Guizhou Inkstone Hall, have opened one after another. Tourists can deeply feel the full range of Xiajiang culture while appreciating the scenery.

In the scenic racecourse of Yuan’an marathon, local intangible cultural heritages such as folk songs, plays of gongs and drums, and operas are staged. Runners listen to the ancient sound of remote mountains that has been inherited for 200 years while racing in the scenic field.

In Qinglong Village, Yiling District, there is an active lion dance team on stilts. They are the inheritors of folk culture and art, and their unique skills attract tourists who come to experience the pastoral scenery, which adds cultural charm to the rural tourism.

Yichang is the origin and fusion place of Ba culture and Chu culture, which was home to Qu Yuan, a world cultural celebrity, Wang Zhaojun, the messenger of national harmony, and Yang Shoujing, an outstanding scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. The Sanyou Cave, or the Three Travelers Cave, bears the carving of the classics of the three most famous poets of the Tang Dynasty — Baixingjian, Baijuyi, and Yuanzhen, and Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe, the most famous literature family in Northern Song Dynasty. Changbanpo Battlefield witnessed the heroic deeds by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei who galloped across the battlefield with great ambition in Chinese history.

The infusion of Yangtze River culture makes tourism crafts and agricultural products become tourism commodities, rural residence become home-stays, and traditional folk customs become new tourism experiences…Cultural tourism has provided more opportunities for local farmers to find jobs at home and increase their incomes, thus injecting new impetus into the post-epidemic recovery and economic and social recovery.

Polin breaks record with «first-place» honor of Best Waterslide of Europe for seven years from the European Star Awards

KOCAELI, Turkey, Dec. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Polin Waterparks’ King Cobra waterslide recently added another award to its growing list of accolades. Polin Waterparks’ innovative King Cobra waterslide has been honored for the ninth year in a row by Kirmes & Park Revue magazine and for the seventh time in nine years, it earned the «First Place European Star Award» in the category of «Europe’s Best New Water Slides 2020″. Polin is honored by King Cobra’s impact in the waterpark world and is excited to share the results of their dedication to quality, innovation, and technology with partner parks around the world.

The slide offers not only an intense and heart-pounding experience for guests but also a stunning design and a one-of-a-kind visual for spectators. The core feature of King Cobra is its unique configuration that enables two double tubes to race through a circular path with twists, turns and surprises before experiencing the drop of their lives as they continue to race through the «valley of the Cobra.» It is considered a game-changing waterslide because of its compelling appearance as it is the first in the world that offers its own theming built directly into the fiberglass. When installed with its original theme, it features bold red, black and white scales that create an imposing veneer over both its exterior and interior. Its sheer size also gains respect: It reaches a massive height of 50 feet (15.24 meters) with a length of 260 feet (790 meters). Yet, parks have many options with the impressive slide, because it can also be designed to match a park’s own theming, being customized with unending variations.

«We’re as proud today as we were the very first time we won a European Star Award,» says Sohret Pakis, Director of Marketing and Communication for Polin Waterparks. «We take these awards very seriously because they are official recognition of our dedication to continuous R&D & delivering innovative, game-changing attractions. We will continue to focus on designing waterslides that promise experiences and ensure we maintain the trust of our partner parks. And we will never stop innovating, because our industry is evolving. So, we will continue to evolve, too.»

Unfortunately the awards could only be presented in the magazine and online this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, however, the next European Star Award in September 2021 in Barcelona will be presented again in the usual festive setting to all well-known European park operators and manufacturers.

A huge congratulations to these award-winners:
