We're continuing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Super 8 by Wyndham this year with a recent Asian Hospitality story featuring Super 8 owners Al and Varsha Patel. Family ownership has been a theme throughout Super 8’s history. “It’s a family business,” shares Super 8 Brand President Michael Mueller, “For most of you, you care about the people that work for you because oftentimes they're family members, or they've been so devoted to the hotel over so many years.” For more about how the Patels and other Super 8 franchise owners have benefited from the INNOV8TE and INNOV8TE 2.0 programs to transform and elevate their hotels, the history of Super 8, and the future of owner-first hotel leadership from Wyndham, read the Asian Hospitality October cover story below! #WyndhamHotels #news #hospitality
