Chinese group seeks out Club Med of France for $700 million

Chinese conglomerate Fosun International and Paris private equity firm AXA are offering to buy Club Med for $700 million.

Chinese conglomerate Fosun International and Paris private equity firm AXA are offering to buy Club Med for $700 million. What is formally called Club Mediterreanee is currently run by Henri Giscard D’Estaing, son of former French President.

Douglas Quinby, analyst at PhoCusWright travel industry research group, joins Marketplace Morning Report host David Brancaccio to discuss.
