In 2015 Wyndham opened nearly 40 new hotels open across EMEA, and the expansion shows no sign of slowing in 2016 with a further 50 hotels being developed. This fast-paced growth has established Wyndham Hotel Group as the leader in bringing international hotel brands to emerging travel destinations.
Dan Ruff, Wyndham Hotel Group's president and managing director for EMEA, explained: "International travel has become democratized, and more frequently we are hearing that our guests want to travel further afield than ever before, experience new cultures and explore unique destinations. Our development strategy is bold yet simple - we work with local partners to bring quality accommodation to a diverse number of locations, including some where very few other brands are yet to tread. The world really is becoming smaller, and we want to make sure that wherever adventure leads there is a hotel brand nearby that our guests know and love."
Wyndham Hotel Group's latest signings include the co-located Ramada Encore Muscat Al Ghubra and Ramada Hotel & Suites Muscat Al Ghubra, which will open at the end of 2018, offering increased choice in accommodation to the growing visitor numbers to this important capital city. Three new properties in Ethiopia – the TRYP by Wyndham Addis Ababa Bole Road, Wyndham Addis Ababa Bole Road and the Wyndham Garden Langano – will all open in the next few years and offer travelers high-end accommodation in both the city and countryside of this increasingly popular East African country. Finally, a dual deal comprising the Ramada Plaza Najaf and Ramada Hotel & Suites Najaf in Iraq is expected to attract a portion of the large numbers of religious pilgrims who visit the nearby Imam Ali Holy Shrine every year.
