In this episode of the FHS Podcast, Matthew Weihs sits down with Gregory Lanter, Deputy CEO of Club Med, to explore how the 75-year-old brand is reimagining all-inclusive luxury for today’s traveller. Gregory discusses Club Med’s full Green Globe certification, its commitment to hiring and sourcing locally, and why Saudi Arabia is poised to become a global hub for family leisure tourism.

From sustainability and upscale experiences to finding the perfect beach location for their first Saudi resort, the conversation offers a rare look into how one of the world’s most iconic hospitality brands is aligning with Vision 2030 and setting the stage for transformative travel.
