Wyndham reaches 1,000 hotels in China

Wyndham Hotel Group has reached 1,000 hotel mark in Greater China, claiming to be the first global hospitality company to do so.

The news follows after the announcement of two new hotels opening under the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brand in the country. These include the 227-room Wyndham Urumqi North, which is situated along China's strategic Belt and Road initiative and is the first internationally branded hotel in Wujiaqu City; as well as the 389-room Wyndham Qingdao, which is located in Qingdao's Chengyang economic zone and is the second Wyndham hotel to open in the city.

Commenting on the milestone, Wyndham Hotel Group president and CEO Geoff Ballotti said: "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.

"China continues to be on the rise and with a booming middle class that is traveling more and more, we believe there's no better company as uniquely positioned as we are today to meet their evolving needs."


Wyndham Hotel Group first entered the Greater China region in 1998 with the introduction of its Howard Johnson hotel brand. In 2004 it introduced Days Inn and Super 8, and over the last decade the company has undertaken a strategic roll-out of six of the company's 15 brands throughout more than 260 cities and 30 provinces.
