Wyndham expands into emerging markets to accelerate India’s growth.

With the launch of Dolce by Wyndham and the expansion of Wyndham Grand, the business hopes to further increase its presence in high-growth Tier 2 and Tier 3 destinations while strengthening its strategic focus on the upmarket segment.

In addition to the first Dolce hotel agreements announced earlier this year, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has added five further hotels to further accelerate its growth in India. The newest developments Ramada Resort by Wyndham Talera Kota, Wyndham Grand Vagator Goa, Wyndham Garden Chittorgarh Sahnawa, Wyndham Guwahati, Wyndham Garden Khajuraho, and two Dolce by Wyndham hotels in Goa and Udaipur reflect the obvious demand from developing cities where the hospitality industry is changing due to increased domestic travel, better infrastructure, and rising demand for branded lodging.

The signings, which span important areas including Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, and Goa, are said to demonstrate Wyndham’s reach across a wide range of demand drivers, including leisure, weddings, heritage and spiritual tourism, and rapidly expanding commercial hubs.

According to reports, Wyndham’s development strategy prioritises established gateway cities as important portfolio anchors while aligning with destinations that benefit from robust domestic travel demand and long-term growth fundamentals. Cities like Kota and Guwahati show growing economic corridors and better regional connections, while places like Khajuraho and Chittorgarh highlight the growing significance of culturally rich, experience-led travel.

Rahool Macarius, Market Managing Director, Eurasia, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, stated, “Wyndham is still gaining significant traction throughout South Asia, with India being a key player in our expansion. This shows a well-diversified portfolio in line with changing traveller demand and a targeted strategy based on our franchise-led business model. In India, we are growing in both major cities and rapidly developing new areas while providing our owners with reliable systems, a worldwide presence, and operational know-how. Every signing and opening increases our visibility and bolsters the portfolio’s durability. We continue to be committed to fostering sustainable growth and generating long-term value for our partners and guests.”
