Club Med, the pioneer of premium all-inclusive holidays, today announced its new inaugural eco-music festival in Hokkaido, Japan; Green Beats by Club Med. Aligning with the company’s commitment to inspire a more eco-responsible way of living and travelling, the Green Beats festival will see Japan’s Hokkaido mountains come to life over three days of fun and inspiration for the whole family to enjoy.

Featuring the hottest acts from Asia’s best underground music scene, hands-on workshops run by local eco-organisations, food and beverage masterclasses featuring the best of local produce, and so much more – the festival aims to leave guests feeling inspired, educated, and motivated to preserve the world’s natural beauty.

“At Club Med, we are always looking to push the boundaries of travel, aiming to turn a getaway into a transformative experience,” Xavier Desaulles, Chief Executive Officer of Club Med, APAC, “Eco-consciousness is a part of that journey, and this year we are excited to announce Green Beats, along with a series of activities across the region that will aim to drive awareness and inspire guests to take positive action in their daily lifestyle that can continue beyond the their stay in Club Med.”

Hosted at Club Med’s most recently awarded Green Globe Certified resort, Club Med Tomamu Hokkaido, Green Beats looks to unite guests across the region through electrifying music, exquisite food, and expressive arts. Set in the heart of Hokkaido’s natural mountain landscapes, Green Beats is designed as a transformative festival experience encouraging guests to view the natural world through new perspectives. Open to all guests from 14 to 16 September 2019, the three-day festival will ignite the senses through four touchpoints to bring guests an unforgettable getaway:

Be enthralled by live music by local Japanese artists, such as The Cynical Store and Kuniyuki Takahashi from Sapporo, Japan, and return home having discovered your favourite new musicians.
