Foliday Town Lijiang is another tourism destination project developed by Fosun Tourism after the success creation of Atlantis Sanya. It not only planned to develop Club Med, a leading global brand of leisure resorts, but also introduced vacation inns which are popular in Europe and the US, strengthening the concept of community with particular emphasis on the building of public spaces. Through community social as well as various cultural and tourism plans, people can reach out larger spaces in the community from the limited space, and global families can enjoy a “second home” under the snow mountain. Foliday Town Lijiang will also build a riverside commercial street with glamorous cultural and tourism commercial complex, as well as a themed entertainment and business cluster “Flying over Hump” — the first cultural and commercial park in Lijiang.
Club Med, the largest global brand of leisure resorts from France*, will make its first debut in Lijiang and is expected to launch in the second half of next year. Besides, a number of diverse core products of renowned brands will be launched, such as Miniversity, the parent-child brand under Fosun Tourism, and Thomas Cook, the vintage travel agency brand in Europe, etc. Healthcare and fashion businesses under the Fosun Group will also be coming soon. FOLIDAY Town, as a representative for the future FOLIDAY quality lifestyle, will be open for consumers in Lijiang soon.
