Wyndham reaches 1,000-hotel milestone in China

Wyndham Hotel Group today marks a milestone as it becomes the first global hospitality company to reach the 1,000 hotel mark in Greater China.
A key region of focus for the company for more than a decade, this landmark achievement comes after years of accelerated growth and the strategic roll-out of six of the company?s 15 brands throughout more than 260 cities and 30 provinces.
?As the largest hotel company in the world and the leading international player in Greater China, today serves as an incredible testament to the strength of the Wyndham Hotel Group portfolio and highlights the increasing significance that China continues to play, not just for our organisation but the industry as a whole,? said Geoff Ballotti, Wyndham Hotel Group president and CEO.
?China continues to be on the rise and with a booming middle class that is travelling more and more, we believe there?s no better company as uniquely positioned as we are today to meet their evolving needs.?
Following years of strong interest in its economy and mid-scale brands, Wyndham is now seeing increasing demand for the upper end of its portfolio.
This week alone, the company announced the opening of two new hotels under its Wyndham Hotels and Resorts?brand flag: the 227-room Wyndham Urumqi North and the 389-room Wyndham Qingdao.
Later this year, the company expects to introduce its TRYP by Wyndham, Wyndham Garden?and Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham?brands to the region.
