Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is expanding in South Korea with the opening of its first managed hotel and the addition of two new development projects.
The company recently opened the 529-room Wyndham Goseong Gangwon, near Seoraksan National Park, and has signed agreements for Howard Johnson by Wyndham Seoul, expected to open in 2028, and Wyndham Busan, slated for 2030.
Wyndham Goseong, Gangwon is Wyndham's first managed hotel in South Korea designed to serve leisure travelers, families, and MICE groups.
This expansion follows South Korea’s tourism sector rebound supported by domestic travel and a steady recovery in international arrivals. In the first 10 months of 2025, the country recorded 15.821 million inbound visitors, rising 15.2% year-over-year, the Korea Tourism Organization reported.
"With global scale, an industry-leading loyalty platform, and deep local expertise, Wyndham has a proven record of helping owners not only drive performance, but generate long-term value while delivering exceptional guest experiences," said Ben Schumacher, Regional Vice President, Operations for APAC at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
