SHANGHAI, April 25, 2022 – Ramada made its debut in China in late 1991 with Ramada by Wyndham Pearl Guangzhou. In the last 30 years, Ramada® by Wyndham grew to become one of Wyndham’s signature brands with more than 850 hotels in over 60 countries and is well recognized by business and leisure travelers worldwide. Ramada has a portfolio of over 200 hotels in Asia Pacific and will further expand in multiple markets across the APAC region in 2022.
“Albert Einstein once said “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. As Ramada celebrate its 30th anniversary in China, I am deeply honored and highly appreciative of the trust, support that our guests bestow upon us every day. This honor belongs to the entire Ramada team who worked tirelessly to bring guests a refreshing experience with warm and thoughtful services. Looking forward, as we continue to grow our presence in APAC, we will continue to deepen our partnership with Ramada owners to serve our guests with our “Count on Us” service culture. Together, let’s look forward to greater days in the years ahead.” said Joon Aun Ooi, President, Asia Pacific for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
To celebrate this milestone, there will be a series of marketing activities and Wyndham Rewards promotion, including social media contest and Wyndham Rewards points giveaway rolled out across the APAC region over next 6 months.
Ramada’s Strategic Expansion in Asia Pacific
In line with our goal to open 2000 hotels by 2025, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts will continue to identify opportunities to introduce Ramada by Wyndham brand into strategic markets.
In Greater China, the brand enjoys robust presence. In first-tier cities such as Shanghai, Hangzhou, Changsha, and Hong Kong, to small and medium-sized cities such as Linxiang City in Hunan Province, Yuxi City in Yunnan Province and Nanping City in Fujian Province, Ramada brand’s footprint can be seen in popular and emerging destinations.
Additionally, in Changsha, Wuhan, Shanghai, and Chenzhou, Ramada opened multiple hotels in these four cities. This is testament to our successful efforts to understand and anticipate the needs of owners and guests alike. The latest addition in China is Ramada by Wyndham Guilin Yangshuo Resort, a restful retreat featuring 180 comfortable rooms, surrounded by breathtaking landscape of limestone hills and is minutes from the picturesque road of Ten Mile Gallery.
Additionally, 15 Ramada-branded hotels are expected to open in China by the end of 2022, with a total of over 2,000 rooms. For instance, 150-room Ramada by Wyndham Changsha West located in Changsha, which is an important city in Central China, enjoying fast economic growth and immense vitality and 200-room Ramada by Wyndham Foshan Guicheng, situated in Foshan, the up-and-coming top-tier city in China with a variety of Cantonese cuisine offerings.
Moving our focus to other strategic Asian markets, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts also plans to launch new Ramada hotels in Thailand, Korea, and Malaysia in 2022, offering guests more options in popular travel destinations. Among these, the two of the most highly anticipated ones are - Ramada Bangkok Sukhumvit 87, a stylish hotel in Bangkok featuring rooftop gardens and sweeping city view; and Ramada Plaza Bangkok Sukhumvit 48 featuring a sky bar, restaurant, and spa. Both were recently opened earlier in March.
