HOTELS : How many projects do you have in the pipeline ? Dimitris Manikis : We have a lot of great things going on for the EMEA region . First of all , we see certain markets rebounding . We see a great interest in Russia and CIS ( Commonwealth of Independent States ). These are two regions that are performing extremely well from a pipeline perspective . We had a lot of success in Turkey , where we are the number one international brand . Among the 80 hotels , 58 are Ramadas , and the Turkish pipeline continues to grow . We are starting to see a leisure pipeline in Spain , Portugal , Greece and Cyprus . It ’ s interesting to see that our Ramada brands are the most popular brand in the EMEA region .
About 50 % of our hotels in EMEA are Ramadas of different tiers . We also have a beautiful Wyndham Grand Crete Mirabello Bay on the island of Crete . Just a few months back , we launched the Wyndham Grand Algarve in Portugal . So , there is quite a lot of interest for branded hotels in leisure destinations , which is a very interesting trend . We hope that it will continue because leisure destinations seem to be rebounding first .
The other interesting thing is the launch of our La Quinta brand , which for us was a priority to launch outside of North America . We also launched our first Days Inn in Turkey , bringing the most popular economy brand of the U . S . into a European market . And , we continue our growth of our Super 8 brand . In Germany , we have already launched 10 Super 8s .
Overall , it ’ s a strong pipeline with a lot of interest in some key
Wyndham brands , and a few surprises in terms of market that are suddenly picking up faster than others . We are number one in Georgia and Turkey , growing strongly in Romania and Greece . It ’ s an interesting mix .
I ’ m also very proud of our development in India , where our pipeline continues despite the humanitarian crisis . People continue to travel and write deals as the interest of the Indian hoteliers for international brands never stopped .
Pakistan has been one of our fastest growing markets in that area . The pipeline and business never stopped , which shows the resilience of our industry .
H : Any management deals ? DM : Yes , there are more in the Middle East and especially the U . A . E . We have at least three or four in the pipeline right now .
