Stellar Year-on-Year Results for 1H 2023

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts or Wyndham, the world’s largest hotel franchising company and a leading provider of management services, has delivered on its mission of making hotel travel possible for everyone. With approximately 9,100 hotels in more than 95 countries, Wyndham successfully tapped into the continual post-pandemic recovery of bleisure travel across the Asia Pacific region and continued to strengthen its franchising leadership position in the hospitality industry with the opening of hotels including its flagship brand Wyndham, all-inclusive brand Wyndham Alltra and lifestyle TRYP by Wyndham brand. The new openings lead to an overall growth of six percent in Wyndham’s room size across the region.

In addition to the strong recovery of bleisure travel across the region, strong guest and owner loyalties towards Wyndham’s brand portfolio contributed to the 31 percent on revenue per available room (RevPAR) in constant currency during the first half of 2023 across Wyndham hotels in the Asia Pacific region.

Sustained Optimism for Hotel Franchising

Wyndham’s franchising business model continues to gain popularity amongst potential owners in the region as they witness the unprecedented support from Wyndham to drive demand and portfolio growth. By joining the Wyndham family, owners can leverage its global franchising expertise by tapping into its hugely popular Wyndham Rewards program that has more than 103 million members globally and leverage its centralised operational support to maximise their top-line profitability. Most recently on 14 August 2023, Wyndham Rewards was recognised as the Best Hotel Loyalty Program for the sixth consecutive year by USA Today.

Coupled with the increasing stability of the tourism industry, Wyndham will continue to seek opportunities to introduce new brands in Asia Pacific to meet the ever-evolving aspirations of hotel owners and guests alike. Looking ahead, Wyndham remains optimistic of making further progress towards evolving its brand portfolio and strengthening its development and opening pipelines for the foreseeable future.

“In the first half of 2023, we’ve achieved phenomenal results; driven by three game-changing factors; the strong recovery of bleisure travel across Asia Pacific, the combined rebound in Greater China’s domestic and international travel demand, and the introduction of new, exciting brands and hotels into strategic markets across Asia Pacific. For our guests, the strong appeal of our brands coupled with the high usability of Wyndham Rewards kept them in the Wyndham ecosystem whilst our owners witnessed how we were able to leverage the strength of our commercial and operational support to attract demand and drive growth. These factors combined to deliver strong guest and owner loyalties – that further highlights the trust they have in our portfolio of brands and industry-leading franchising experience,” said Joon Aun Ooi, President, Asia Pacific, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts.
