Wyndham has 35 operational hotels in India under the Ramada, Ramada Encore, Howard Johnson and Days brands.

“India’s hospitality industry, especially the mid-market segment, is thriving from strong growth in domestic travel, an increase in foreign tourists, as well as a booming airline industry supported by government-led initiatives. We aim to have 75 operational hotels in India by 2020,” said Deepika Arora, Wyndham Hotel Group’s regional VP for Eurasia.
