Something for everyone
The UAE’s tourism sector is booming. The total number of hotel guests within the country in the first half of the year increased 42 per cent year-on-year to reach 12 million, particularly driven by The Expo 2020 Dubai and now sustained by football’s biggest sporting event which is just a few weeks away. But as a cosmopolitan hub that attracts visitors from over 190 countries, the UAE is keen to ensure that its hospitality offerings are equally diverse and it isn’t just about luxury hotels and decadent shopping malls.
With this in mind, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts launched ‘Every journey leads to a hotel by Wyndham’ – a new campaign that promotes its diverse brand portfolio, promising for every type of traveller, on every type of trip, with every type of budget, that there is a Wyndham hotel to suit their needs. With 9,100 hotels in over 95 countries and 23 brands, Wyndham is the world’s largest hotel franchising company with a clear mission – to make travel possible for all. And that could not be more relevant in the UAE.
Here, Wyndham offers more than 20 properties with options to suit anyone visiting. In Dubai alone, travellers can choose from an upscale stay at the waterfront Wyndham Dubai Deira, vibrant interiors and amazing views at the centrally-located Ramada by Wyndham Downtown Dubai, or comfortable amenities at Days Hotel by Wyndham Dubai Deira for those travelling on a budget. For a break from the hustle and bustle of Dubai, there are plenty of other destinations, including Ramada by Wyndham Downtown Abu Dhabi, TRYP by Wyndham Abu Dhabi and Wyndham Garden Ajman to name a few.
With so much to offer travellers around the world, it is no surprise that Wyndham continues to bring new additions to the UAE, such as the recent high-profile opening of the new Wyndham Residences The Palm in Palm Jumeirah. The 102- key property is part of Balqis Residences, one of IFA Hotels and Resorts’ mixed-use developments. With several deluxe apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom suites, as well as access to a private beach, it is the perfect option for an extended stay in one of the most popular landmarks in the emirate. “The opening of Wyndham Residences The Palm marks an important step in expanding our range of accommodation options in the UAE, as well as the wider region, while also supporting Dubai’s vision to become the world’s most visited city by 2025,” said Michel Augier, Regional Director for the Middle East and Africa at Wyndham Hotel & Resorts.
But the expansion doesn’t stop in the UAE. Wyndham recently unveiled its new 278-key beachfront property in Qatar’s capital, Wyndham Grand Doha West Bay Beach and has plans to continue to expand in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with the opening of Ramada by Wyndham Riyadh King Fahd and Ramada Encore by Wyndham Al Khobar King Salman Road, both in Riyadh and adding to a growing portfolio of 12 hotels across the country.
All Wyndham hotels in the Middle East and around the world, are part of Wyndham Rewards, one of the world’s most generous loyalty programmes spanning more than 50,000 hotels, vacation club resorts and vacation rentals globally. Allowing over 97 million enrolled members to earn and redeem points that can be used any hotels – from value to luxury – the programme is designed to be both simple and generous. Its scale and industry recognition is testament to how Wyndham celebrates and champions the everyday traveller, offering more value, more flexibility and ultimately ensuring that every journey leads to a hotel by Wyndham.
