Wyndham members and travellers from all over the world. The hotel

showcased in this world celebration of diversity.
WorldPride is a seventeen-day festival of more than 300 events

Harbour Bridge. Some of the biggest names in music such as Kylie
Minogue and Nicole Scherzinger are visiting Sydney for the
occasion.

The company’s cross-company Pride International Diversity
