Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has announced a strategic partnership with Indian hospitality group Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, aimed at expanding its footprint across India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. This new alliance will introduce Wyndham’s La Quinta by Wyndham and Registry Collection Hotels brands to South Asia, with plans to open over 60 hotels in the next decade.

The collaboration was officially signed in Delhi by Dimitris Manikis, President EMEA, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, and Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder & Managing Director of Cygnett Hotels & Resorts.
