A Proven Leader in Driving Sales Transformation and Trade Growth

Marc Lauret joins the Southeast Asia team with an impressive portfolio of achievements across multiple markets, including the UK, Ireland, and the Nordics. Known for his strategic and data-driven approach, he has successfully led initiatives that significantly enhanced indirect and MICE sales performance.

Among his key accomplishments:

·      Elevated MICE Offering
Marc played a pivotal role in positioning Club Med as a premium Meetings & Events (MICE) provider, delivering +36% growth through curated resort experiences and large-scale privatizations, while increasing direct corporate client share to 58%.

·      Scaled Digital Distribution
He strengthened e-distribution capabilities through API integrations and Channel Connectivity Manager for BA, notably elevating partnerships such as British Airways Holidays to become a leading global distribution partner (outside China).

·      Champion of Data & Performance Insights
By implementing automated reporting and AI-driven insights for travel agents, Marc enabled partners to make smarter, faster business decisions.

A Positive Outlook for 2026 and Beyond

Marc’s appointment signals a forward-looking strategy for Club Med in Singapore and Malaysia—one that prioritizes trade empowerment and digital innovation.
“We are seeing strong momentum across both markets, driven by robust trade partnerships and evolving traveller expectations. I look forward to collaborating closely with our partners to unlock new growth opportunities and deliver exceptional holiday experiences to our guests,” said Marc Lauret.
With travel demand continuing to rise and forward bookings showing robust performance, Club Med is well-positioned to drive sustained growth across Singapore Malaysia markets.
