Last year was a standout year for Wyndham as we advanced our mission to make hotel travel possible for all. From growing our approximately 9,300 hotel portfolio and strengthening our 25 global brands, to investing in hotel owners and guests, we reinforced our value as the world’s largest hotel franchisor.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: Travel makes the world a better place. We bring that belief to life by embracing our Count on Me culture and living our core values—Integrity, Accountability, Inclusive, Caring, and Fun. These values not only guide us in business but also have helped us earn recognition for our efforts. For the third consecutive year, we were again named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere and one of America’s Most Loved Workplaces by Newsweek, among other accolades.
While we appreciate awards, it’s the work behind them we’re most proud of. From combating human trafficking—which we do through team member and franchisee training as well as partnerships with organizations like BEST, Polaris, and PACT—to making contributions to worthy charities, we’ve seen first-hand that we do well by doing good. That’s why we continue growing and investing in industry-leading programs like Women Own the Room and BOLD by Wyndham, as well as Wyndham Green, our portfolio-wide sustainability program.
None of what we do would be possible without the hard work and dedication of our more than 2,000 team members around the globe who reported high levels of employee engagement according to our 2024 Wyndham Engagement Survey (exceeding other companies across various industries and regions). These valued team members provide Wyndham’s signature “Count on Me”, OwnerFirst service and support to each other and our thousands of franchisees. They exemplify Wyndham at its very best, reminding us that we can always do more.
