HONG KONG (June 4, 2012) –
Wyndham Hotel Group, the world’s largest hotel company with over 7,150 hotels and a member of the Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE: WYN) family, today announced that it reached the 500th property milestone in the Asia Pacific region with the opening of the Super 8 Nanjing Shan Xi Lu in China’s Jiangsu Province.

The Hotel Group’s rapid expansion is attributed to its successful franchising and management model as well as its strong global brands made relevant to the marketplace.
“As we celebrate this significant achievement, we are incredibly thankful for our partners and franchisees who believe in and support our Wyndham Hotel Group at every turn,” said Bob Loewen, Wyndham Hotel Group’s executive vice president and CFO, who oversees operations and development efforts outside of North America. “2012 has already been a memorable year for us, with our parent company Wyndham Worldwide being ranked by Fortune Magazine as the “Most Admired Company” within the hospitality industry and with our Wyndham Hotel Group winning the 2012 “Innovative International Hotel Group of the Year” award during the China Travel & Meetings Industry Awards ceremony organized by TravelWeekly China. These are clear indicators that our strategy and our efforts are spot-on.”
