''There are 5 unbranded hotels for every 1 branded hotel in Turkey. Therefore, there is serious growth potential for global brands like us in this market. We currently have 10 of our 24 global brands in Turkey. This year, we want to bring our Vienna House by Wyndham and Dolce by Wyndham brands to Turkey. The transformation of the Turkish economy is moving towards Anatolia, and accordingly, hospitality investments are shifting to second and third tier cities. It is expected that around 50 billion dollars will be invested in the coming period for the reconstruction of the cities in the earthquake zone. There is a need for places to accommodate the people who will work during the reconstruction of these cities. We will continue to open new hotels both in big cities and in Anatolia. We aim to reach 130 hotels by the end of this year and 150 hotels by the end of 2025.''
