president of the EMEA region for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
“The other tailwinds relevant to Wyndham, we expect more Chinese tourists to come to India now. Also, it's the outbound opportunity out of India—the expected 150 million travellers who will fly abroad in the next five years out of the country—will make India even bigger for us”
