Club Med Demonstrates High Percentage of Fruits and Vegetables in Guests’ Diets

The guests of the six Club Med resorts in the American Zone (Ixtapa Pacific, Cancun Yucatan, Columbus Isle, Turkoise, Punta Cana and Sandpiper) consumed an estimated total of 2,420,000 pounds of fresh fruit and 1,980,000 pounds of fresh vegetables this year. This quantity breaks down to about 1.6 pounds of fruit and 1.3 pounds of vegetables per person per day. As a complement to their fruit and vegetable consumption, guests at the six Club Med resorts consumed 704,660 pounds of fresh and frozen fish this year—or a little under a half pound a day per person.

In Punta Cana, the six month breakdown equals 187,000 pounds of oranges for fresh squeezed daily juice, 115500 pounds of pineapple, 68200 pounds of cantaloupe, 64680 pounds of bananas, 59840 pounds of mango and 39600 of papaya.
