Wyndham has nearly 8,000 hotels and about 679,100 rooms in 73 countries. Brands include Super 8, Howard Johnson, Travelodge, Microtel Inn &amp; Suites, Wingate by Wyndham, Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Dolce Hotels and Resorts and Wyndham Grand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWyndham&#8217;s brand revitalization announcement makes sense,\u201d Lukas Hartwich, lodging analyst for Green Street Advisors, told <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\">Commercial Property Executive<\/a><\/em>. \u201cThere is a lot of overlap across the company&#8217;s suite of brands, which makes it hard for them to stand out and gain mindshare. By attempting to differentiate its brands, Wyndham may be able to more effectively target travelers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Josh Lesnick, WHG\u2019s chief marketing officer, said travelers had often been forced to \u201ccompromise enriching experiences because of price.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve taken our 16 brands and redefined them to stand for something that matters to the kinds of guests we welcome so there&#8217;s something for every kind of traveler, regardless of their budget,&#8221; Lesnick said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p>Guests will start seeing changes this summer. The rebranding and repositioning will include renovating and refreshing interiors, enhancing its loyalty program and creating targeted marketing campaigns for each brand.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re unlocking the potential of our iconic brands. It\u2019s time,&#8221; Wyndham CEO Geoff Ballotti said in a prepared statement. \u201cWe&#8217;re transforming at a time when the $7.2 trillion global travel and tourism industry is growing faster than the global economy, fueled largely by millennials and an increasingly travel-curious middle class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Travelodge, which has about half of its 400 hotels within 25 miles of a National Park, is being marketed as \u201cYour Basecamp for Adventure.\u201d Other brand taglines include \u201cAn American Road Original\u201d for Super 8 and \u201cBrilliantly Efficient\u201d for Microtel Inn and Suites by Wyndham. Wyndham executives say the brand experiences for each hotel will be evident from websites to redesigned interiors.<\/p>\n<p>The hospitality giant is also upgrading its backend technology by investing in a secure, cloud-based property management system with automated revenue management capabilities in most of its portfolio. Officials said more than 300 hotels come online to the system each month and those that have already adopted it are seeing increases in RevPAR.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the overhaul has been also parting ways with subpar properties so it can improve the overall performance of its portfolio. Over the past two years, Wyndham has eliminated substandard quality properties while at the same time adding more than 650 newly built hotels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The repositioning will encompass refreshing interiors, enhancing Wyndham\u2019s loyalty program and creating targeted marketing campaigns for its 16 flags.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1068,"featured_media":1004145797,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21751,23891,21742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004145795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-hotel","category-national","category-latest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
