UAE’s 1st Wyndham Garden debuts at ATM

The first Wyndham Garden hotel in the UAE, Wyndham Garden Ajman Corniche is slated to open in the last quarter of 2017, with 179 rooms and suites, says Iftikhar Hamdani, the Cluster General Manager for the properties, Ramada Hotel & Suites Ajman, and Ramada Beach Hotel Ajman.

Wyndham Garden Ajman Corniche will exhibit as part of R Hotels, alongside two Ramada properties in Ajman in its inaugural participation in this year’s Arabian Travel Market.

Wyndham Garden Ajman Corniche will be an upper mid-scale property open to various markets with a focus on catering to families, and will target sports and accessible tourism as well. UNWTO declared last year as the accessible travel year. According to reports, accessible tourism is a rapidly growing segment. The World Health Organisation states that 15 per cent of the total world population has at least one type of disability. It is also estimated that by 2050, 21.5 per cent of the world population will be 60 plus. If their specific accessibility needs can be met throughout the entire travel process, from searching and comparing to physically connecting between transport modes, there is great potential for growth. Even today, seniors represent a very lucrative segment in many markets, and the ageing population will probably become an increasingly important market segment for the travel industry. Visionary Cluster General Manager for three properties in Ajman, Iftikhar Hamdani will once again pioneer in catering to this market segment by providing more facilities and rooms to accommodate a larger segment of those seeking accessible tourism friendly properties.

This four-star property will feature a total of 179 rooms and suites, an executive lounge on the top floor with panoramic sea views, two restaurants, an outdoor swimming pool, gym and spa, separate health clubs for men and women on two different levels to accommodate more individuals, and a kids’ play area. The total number of rooms under Hamdani will go up to 600 plus which makes it the largest room inventory in the emirate of Ajman.

“We are excited to introduce the new Wyndham Garden Ajman Corniche. On top of the Middle East market, we are also eyeing Baltic, Balkans, East Europe, Germany, and Central Asia during the exhibition. Along with our two Ramada properties, the group is expected to accommodate the growing number of guests in Ajman, thus reinforcing our status as the leading group in terms of number of rooms and occupancy in the Northern Emirates,” reveals Hamdani.

R Hotels stand will be at HC0425 of the hotel pavilion. Wyndham Garden Ajman Corniche will also be joining the Ajman Tourism Development Department (ATDD) stand.
