The new signings will build on the company’s already strong portfolio of five hotels and over 1,000 rooms in Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore and Multan.

“These seven new signings represent a significant milestone in our continued growth objectives to cater to the Pakistani hotel market,” comments Panos Loupasis, Vice President Development, Middle East, Eurasia & Africa, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “With recent government initiatives making it easier for people to visit the country, and widespread investment in Pakistan’s burgeoning tourism industry as part of the National Tourism Strategy, we want to bring new traveller segments into the country, and support Pakistan in its ambitious plans as we seek to further expand our presence in this strategically important market.”
