Wyndham Vacation Resorts Launches into Asia

Having previously identified Asia as a being key to their Asian Pacific expansion plans, Wyndham Vacation Ownership's President & CEO, Franz Hanning said, "Ancient cultures and spectacular destinations are in abundance [here] … When coupled with Wyndham Vacation Ownership, the world's largest developer and marketer of flexible points-based Vacation Ownership, East meets West in glorious accord".

Due for completion in August 2008, Pantipa Spa Villa & Resort will be a first class boutique hotel featuring an exclusive list of 65 stunning rooms, six fantastic café's, bars & restaurants, a magnificent terraced pool, massage & day spa, shops and business centre all with spectacular Andaman sea views courtesy of its incredible Kalim Beach hillside location. "We were very keen to make this location our first in Asia", said Wyndham Vacation Resorts Asia Pacific's President & CEO, Barry Robinson. "We are supremely confident that Pantipa Spa Villa & Resort will be a coveted addition to the company's management resort portfolio".

"I also have great pleasure in announcing that Pantipa Spa Villa & Resort is set to become even more spectacular", Hanning added. "Because we have also signed a turnkey agreement for Kalim Bayview to construct, and Wyndham Vacation Resorts Asia Pacific to conditionally purchase, what will be 44 first class one, two and three bedroom Deluxe and Presidential Holiday Ownership villas". Due for completion in August 2009, this tremendous addition will see the eagerly anticipated Pantipa Spa Villa & Resort confirm its place amongst the leading Thai resorts.

Hanning concluded by thanking Chairat Sukaban, the Deputy Mayor of Patong Municipality and co Director Owner of Pantipa Spa Villa & Resort and Markus Leimgruber co Director Owner of Pantipa Spa Villa & Resort.
