Australian travellers looking for more affordable travel options
With research showing Australians are looking for more cost effective travel experiences, Wyndham Hotel Group has said it will meet growing demand with an expansion of its mid-scale offerings across the globe.
Based on a recent study conducted by Wyndham Rewards, Australians are looking for mid-scale and economy accommodation on both their business and leisure travels, with 69 percent saying they wanted to cut costs when travelling.
Of these respondents, 59 percent said mid-scale options were most appealing for leisure, while 42 percent chose mid-scale for business purposes. There were 38 percent of respondents who opted for economy hotels for both leisure and business last year.
President and managing director of Wyndham Hotel Group South East Asia and Pacific Rim, Barry Robinson, said there were many more mid-scale and economy hotels expected to open in the region this year to cater to the growing demand of cost-conscious travellers to the region.
“With Australia’s outbound departures expected to grow 3.4 per cent to 9.9 million over the next year, we are committed to providing an extensive variety of holiday options in the Asia Pacific, which is a popular travel destination for Australians,” Mr Robinson said.
