DIGITAL BRACELETS EXPAND THE CLUB MED EXPERIENCE
Club Med has introduced new innovative digital bracelets that unlock your
accommodation room, and more.
Replacing the current Club Med bracelet – which signifies to staff that you are a
Club Med guest – the new digital bracelet is currently being trialled in resorts, with
Club Med Kani and Finolhu Villas in the Maldives amongst the first. Evolving from an
original Club Med barter system that involved strings of colorful beads being traded
for goods and services, the Club Med bracelet is a part of the brand’s DNA and is a
symbol of GMs (Gentils Membres – customers of Club Med) in the resorts.
The new bracelet is embedded with an encoded chip and can also be used as a
payment system with transactions captured via mobile readers at most points of
sales within the resort. It also unlocks accommodation rooms so guests no longer
have to worry about carrying around room keys.
The waterproof digital bracelet is designed to be worn at all times, even while
guests are swimming or taking a shower. Designed and manufactured with toxic-
free and recyclable materials, the digital bracelet is kids-friendly and will be
distributed to guests upon arrival.
The new digital bracelet innovation joins the recently introduced Club Med Resorts
App, as Club Med turns its sights to continuing to elevate the guest experience.
