LONDON and PARSIPPANY, N.J., April
1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyndham Hotels & Resorts,
the world's largest hotel franchising company by number of
properties with over 8,900 hotels across nearly 95 countries,
continues to cement its presence across Europe, Middle
East, Eurasia and Africa
(EMEA) with a series of recent hotel launches and a strong line-up
of openings for 2021.
In a year of historic challenges for the travel industry, in
2020 Wyndham achieved 38 new hotel signings in the region, a host
of important openings, in addition to launching multi-faceted
initiatives to support and empower hotel partners across EMEA to
help re-build demand in response to changes and on-going travel
restrictions.
Some of Wyndham's key 2020 openings included the European
expansion of Ramada by Wyndham in Madrid, Valencia, Leeds and Budapest and continued momentum in
India and Pakistan. Other highlights included the
expansion of La Quinta by Wyndham in Turkey, and the debut of the Super 8 by
Wyndham brand in the UAE alongside more openings in Germany.
In late 2020, Wyndham also opened its first hotel in
Nepal under the Ramada Encore by
Wyndham brand, and expanded in India with the addition of Wyndham Ahmedabad
Shela. Solid growth continued in 2021, as Wyndham announced
the debut of the La Quinta brand in Dubai, and saw further momentum in
Turkey with the opening of Ramada
by Wyndham Izmir Aliaga, while also expanding its Dolce brand with
a new flagship hotel in Copenhagen.
Wyndham's recent expansion in EMEA reinforces its commitment to
its partners, guests and team members across the region and is set
to continue with a strong development pipeline of over 16,000 rooms
that includes more than 20 new hotels expected to open later this
year.
Dimitris Manikis, President,
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, EMEA said: "We are extremely proud of
these achievements, initiatives and the incredible resilience shown
by our hotel partners in the region. In the toughest period our
industry has ever experienced, it is more important than ever to
put our partners, guests and teams at the heart of everything we
do. Our ability to continue to grow is a testament to the strength
of the value proposition of the Wyndham brands for hotel partners
as they prepare to rebuild demand, and we are looking forward to
our continued and long-term success together."
Some of the upcoming openings in 2021 will include:
- The debut of the Wyndham's namesake brand in Cyprus with the highly anticipated opening of
the upscale Wyndham Nicosia expected
around the end of the year. The hotel will offer elegant
accommodation in Nicosia's main square, alongside several leisure
