WE spotted Glenn de Souza, former Best Western International (BWI) vice president of international operations for Asia & Middle East, right in front of the BWI booth at last week’s ITB Asia.
He was hanging out quite a bit at the Wyndham Hotel Group booth and our photographer even snapped him with several young hotel owners who had signed up with Wyndham.
The chain announced seven new signings in South-east Asia, including Days Inn Rest Sea Jomtien Pattaya, Days Inn Siam Central Pattaya, Days Inn Patong Beach Phuet, Ramada Suites Wong Amat Pattaya, Ramada ChaoFa Phuket, Wyndham Legend Halong and Ramada Resort Lumut.
We wonder if de Souza had anything to do with these signings. After all, this was the man who took BWI from a mere six hotels to 200 hotels over the 13 years he was with the company.
When approached, de Souza only smiled and said all would be revealed soon. Watch this space!
