ZEW-Umfrage - BIP-Zahlen beflügeln Lagebeurteilung
Das Mannheimer Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung hat soeben seine Umfrageergebnisse für den Berichtsmonat August vorgelegt. Demnach gaben die Konjunkturerwartungen bereits den vierten Monat in Folge nach. Sie liegen nun nur noch bei einem Wert von 14,0 Saldenpunkten. Die Skepsis mit Blick auf die weitere gesamtwirtschaftliche Entwicklung hat damit erneut etwas zugenommen. Erfreulich zeigt sich hingegen die Einschätzung der aktuellen Lage. weiterlesen...

PRESS RELEASE: SOL MELIA : Wyndham Completes TRYP Acquisition from Sol Meliá

PRESS RELEASE: SOL MELIA : Wyndham Completes TRYP Acquisition from Sol Meliá

SOL MELIA / SOL MELIA : Wyndham Completes TRYP Acquisition from Sol Meliá processed and transmitted by Hugin AS. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (July 1, 2010) - Wyndham Hotel Group, a subsidiary of Wyndham
Worldwide (NYSE: WYN), has completed the previously announced acquisition of the
TRYP hotel brand from Sol Meliá Hotels & Resorts including franchise agreements
with 92 TRYP hotels in Europe and South America.

The newly renamed TRYP by Wyndham brand joins Wyndham Hotel Group's 11 other
brands, which encompass nearly 7,100 hotels and approximately 593,300 rooms in
65 countries.

TRYP, a select-service, midpriced brand representing approximately 13,000 rooms,
caters to business and leisure travelers in cosmopolitan cities including
Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Lisbon, Frankfurt, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo and
Montevideo. Last month, the brand opened its third hotel in Barcelona, the Tryp
Hotel Condal Mar, and anticipates additional openings this year in Lisbon,
Berlin, Madrid and Medellin, Colombia.

Wyndham Hotel Group President and Chief Executive Officer Eric Danziger said the
TRYP by Wyndham brand "significantly increases the company's global presence in
Europe and Latin America."

"We acquired the TRYP brand because of its strategic presence in major
international cities and the significant growth opportunities it presents to our
business," said Danziger. "Our immediate focus is to grow the TRYP by Wyndham
brand across Europe and the Americas. The latest hotel opening in Barcelona
demonstrates the brand's accelerating growth and increasing interest from
developers and hotel owners."

As previously announced, Wyndham Hotel Group and Sol Meliá will work together to
develop the TRYP by Wyndham brand globally and expect to market the hotels
cooperatively through their central reservations systems and loyalty programs as
part of a strategic alliance between the two companies.

"This marks the beginning of a promising relationship between two complementary
hospitality companies that will foster growth in a vast diversity of regions,"
said Gabriel Escarrer Jaume, vice chairman and chief executive officer of Sol
Meliá.

In connection with the closing, Danziger announced the appointment of Daniel del
Olmo, as brand senior vice president, TRYP by Wyndham, responsible for its
overall business strategy, brand integration, performance, customer relations,
service culture, operations and sales and marketing. He will report to Jeff
Wagoner, who will continue to serve the company as president of its Wyndham
Hotels and Resorts® brand and affiliated Wingate® by Wyndham and Hawthorn
Suites® by Wyndham brands.

Del Olmo most recently served Wyndham Hotel Group as chief performance officer,
leading the development of the company's long-term strategic plan including the
development of business strategy and integration plans for the TRYP brand. Since
joining the company in 2003, he has served in a variety of roles in marketing,
strategy and innovation. He began his career in hospitality in the Americas
Division of Sol Meliá Hotels & Resorts where he held various marketing and
e-commerce positions.
