Wyndham expects 40% growth in Asia Pacific openings

Wyndham Hotels and Resorts is estimating a 40 percent increase in openings across Asia Pacific in 2021.

This represents an additional 180 hotels and means that Wyndham is on track to reach 2,000 hotels in the region within the next three years. 

"Strong partnerships with our owners will be key to our continued growth and our mutual success. We are building on the momentum achieved in 2020, as industries gear towards recovery in 2021, and our robust openings and hotel deal executions will pave the way for continued growth for the company,” Joon Aun Ooi, president, Asia Pacific, at Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, said.

The growth this year builds on a strong performance in 2020, where despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic it managed to open 125 new hotels, signing a further 140 properties.
