For the second time in a row, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (WHR) has become the official Partner Hotel of ITB China, set to take place from May 15-17, 2019, in Shanghai.

A corresponding agreement was signed on November 13 by Robert Loewen, chief operating officer Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, and David Axiotis, general manager ITB China.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has been an exhibitor of ITB China since its inaugural edition. In 2018, Wyndham Hotels already was the official Partner Hotel of ITB China, attracting an unprecedented amount of attention from Chinese travel agents, opinion-leaders and travel trade media with great response and positive feedback.

As part of the partnership, more than 20 different hotels from the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts portfolio are anticipated to attend ITB China 2019 showcasing the variety and internationality of the hotel brand and property portfolio.  

Among others hotels from China, various overseas hotels will be showcasing their services on a large exhibition pavilion on the show floor. During the three-day event, Wyndham Hotels will benefit from several hundred pre-scheduled appointments with travel agencies sending buyers from all over China to Shanghai. As the Partner Hotel, Wyndham Hotels will not only have a broad exposure during the exhibition, but will also be the co-host of ITB China’s official opening event one day prior to the show.

Leo Liu, president and managing director of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Greater China, said: “ITB China has been well received by the travel industry. Back in 2017, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has benefited a great deal from being one of the exhibitors and travel service providers at the premiere event. In 2018, we were pleased to be the official hotel partner of ITB China, which took our participation at the show to the next level. For the upcoming event in 2019, we anticipate an even more successful attendance. We are excited to see brand new products and innovative services coincide with professional travel industry experts, ultimately providing Chinese consumers with better travel experiences.”

David Axiotis, general manager ITB China, said: “We are honoured that the Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, being one of the leading international hospitality groups in the world, has been a partner of ITB China since its very first edition. Wyndham becoming ITB China 2018’s official Partner Hotel has been a milestone of our cooperation highlighted by the fact that they have been the most sought-after exhibitor amongst all buyers attending our 2018 event.
