The world’s largest hotel franchising company has announced plans to further expand its presence in Pakistan with a number of key signings.
With a global presence of nearly 9,000 hotels across nearly 95 countries, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is to grow its presence in Pakistan with new sites in some of the country’s most popular destinations including Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore and Hyderabad.
The development plan includes the addition of six ‘Ramada by Wyndham’ hotels across the country, as well as the launch of the Howard Johnson by Wyndham brand in Pakistan. The new signings will build on the company’s already strong portfolio of five hotels and over 1,000 rooms in Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore and Multan.
Panos Loupasis, Vice President Development, Middle East, Eurasia & Africa, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts said: “As the fifth most populous country in the world with a predominant domestic and leisure travel market, Pakistan’s immense tourism potential is clear. These seven new signings represent a significant milestone in our continued growth objectives to cater to the Pakistani hotel market. With recent government initiatives making it easier for people to visit the country, and widespread investment in Pakistan’s burgeoning tourism industry as part of the National Tourism Strategy, we want to bring new traveller segments into the country, and support Pakistan in its ambitious plans as we seek to further expand our presence in this strategically important market.”
