Location Analysis
Where Wyndham wins
The brand maintains a strong customer satisfaction rating based on thousands of customer reviews, indicating consistent service quality and guest satisfaction across regions. California's significant presence, particularly in high-traffic tourism areas, demonstrates the brand's success in premium hospitality markets. The strong representation in states with major metropolitan areas suggests a focus on both business and leisure travelers.
Expansion opportunities exist particularly in the Southeast and Mountain regions, where current presence is limited despite strong tourism and business travel demand. Ideal locations for new franchises should target areas with high disposable income, strong corporate presence, and established tourism infrastructure. Key success factors include proximity to major airports, business districts, or tourist attractions, with minimum market areas of 250,000 population and average household incomes above $75,000.
