100 SUPER 8 HOTELS TO OPEN IN SAUDI ARABIA IN 10 YEARS
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and Le Park Concord have signed an exclusive development agreement to open 100 Super 8® hotels in Saudi Arabia over the next 10 years. The collaboration aims to increase accessible accommodation options in line with the country's 2030 tourism vision.
Wyndham's Plan to Grow with 100 Hotels in Saudi Arabia
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, in collaboration with Saudi Arabia-based hotel operator Le Park Concord Company, aims to open 100 Super 8® hotels in the country over the next ten years. The exclusive development agreement aims to provide more accessible and affordable accommodation solutions within the scope of Saudi Arabia's 2030 tourism vision.
The first hotel is planned to open in 2026, with the support of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Tourism. The facilities to be opened are aimed to be located in major cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, Dammam and on main highways. Sustainable design and modular construction techniques will be used in the hotels.
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts EMEA President Dimitris Manikis said the following about the agreement:
“By bringing the Super 8 brand to Saudi Arabia, we want to offer reliable and budget-friendly options for business and leisure travelers. This collaboration with Le Park Concord will contribute to Saudi Arabia's rapidly growing tourism potential.”
Strategic Support to the Economy Segment
Saudi Arabia hosted 30 million foreign visitors in 2024, an increase of 9.5 percent. The goal is to reach 150 million by 2030. According to Knight Frank data, only 6% of hotel projects in the country are in the economy and mid-segment. The Super 8 brand aims to close this gap and reach wider audiences.
Le Park Concord CEO Fiaz Talal Alenezi said, "The growth of tourism in Saudi Arabia is increasing the need for branded and affordable hotels. Our collaboration with Wyndham combines a global standard with a local experience."
Supported by Wyndham Advantage
The agreement will also be implemented with the “Wyndham Advantage” support system offered by Wyndham in the field of hospitality. The Wyndham Rewards loyalty program provides hotels with access to a global customer base with over 115 million members. The company also offers operational support to hotel owners with technology investments and revenue management systems.
Super 8 by Wyndham is one of the most widespread brands in the economy segment worldwide. The brand announced last month that it plans to open 40 new hotels in Spain and Portugal.
