Ground-breaking ceremony signals expansion of Wyndham Destinations in Clark
CLARK FREEPORT – Wyndham Services Asia Pacific (Philippines) Inc., managed by Wyndham Destinations Asia Pacific, broke ground on Friday to start the construction of its new office building located at Philexcel Business Park in Clark, Philippines.
Wyndham Destinations Asia Pacific is a division of Wyndham Destinations (NYSE: WYND), the hospitality giant with an impressive portfolio of more than 4,000 resorts in 100 countries and over 25,000 employees, who serve millions of families each year. Wyndham Destinations is made up of three lines of business: Wyndham Vacation Clubs, RCI Exchanges and Wyndham Vacation Rentals.
The Asia Pacific teams form part of the Wyndham Vacation Clubs line of business. They manage, develop and market vacation ownership interests across two vacation clubs and a network of club resorts in the Asia Pacific region.
The ground-breaking ceremony was attended by Liam Crawley, Chief Financial Officer Wyndham Vacation Clubs Asia Pacific and Jerry Estrada, Wyndham Philippines Director of Operations.
“As our resort portfolios and memberships in our WorldMark South Pacific Club, and CLUB WYNDHAM® ASIA vacation clubs continue to grow across the Asia Pacific region, we are strategically positioning teams in key business hubs to support this growth,” said Crawley.
Construction is scheduled to start in the coming weeks and is expected to complete in early 2019.

We intend to double our staff strength by the end of 2018 and further expand our corporate services in 2019,” added Mr Crawley.
