Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is strengthening its midscale presence across Uttar Pradesh and Kerala as domestic travel continues to expand beyond India’s traditional gateway cities. Through Ramada Encore by Wyndham and its franchise relationships with local owners, the company is responding to growing demand for internationally branded accommodation across spiritual travel circuits and regional business and leisure hubs.
The announcement comes amid a broader shift in India’s travel landscape. According to the Ministry of Tourism, India recorded more than 4.3 billion domestic tourist visits in 2025, while Ayodhya alone attracted over 200 million visitors in the same year. Wyndham is opening properties to cater to the growing number of travellers visiting high-volume, year-round spiritual travel circuits in Uttar Pradesh – Ayodhya and Vrindavan. While Kochi is important as the city combines business demand, air connectivity and leisure travel in Kerala.
