Club Med, a global vacation package provider, is planning to make China its largest market in terms of tourist visits in the coming years, a top executive said, as the company bets on the country's tourism market scale, growth potential and innovation capabilities.

Club Med, which has been operating in China for the last 20 years, currently runs 11 resorts across the country. China is its second-largest tourist source.

Among the 17 new resorts scheduled for launch globally in the next three years, the company plans to set up around eight in China, said Henri Giscard d'Estaing, president of Club Med.
