Türkiye's largest international hotel company with plans for
further expansion in 2023.
ISTANBUL, Sept. 5,

the world's largest hotel franchising company with approximately
9,100 hotels spanning more than 95 countries, is further
strengthening its position in Türkiye reaching approximately 105

part of Wyndham's continued expansion plan in Türkiye, where the

destinations to beautiful coastlines and buzzing cities, Türkiye
has something to offer to every type of traveller. Surpassing
the 100th hotel mark in the year the Republic of Türkiye
