July 27, 2010 // Franchising.com // Parsippany, N.J. — Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE:WYN), one of the world's largest hospitality companies, is pleased to announce its partnership with Samsung®, a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, as the sole endorsed television brand for Wyndham Hotel Group, Wyndham Vacation Ownership and RCI affiliates worldwide. This partnership works in concert with Wyndham Worldwide's strategic sourcing group whose objective is to leverage global purchasing to achieve savings, support brand standards and further enhance the guest experience. The Company selected Samsung because of its highly competitive slate of products and its innovations in technology, design and energy efficiency.

"We are excited about this partnership as it affords our properties and RCI affiliates the opportunity to benefit from our global vendor relationships," said Wyndham Worldwide's Senior Vice President of strategic sourcing Paul Davis. "Working with Samsung allows us to provide products that elevate the guests' in-room experience and are in line with Wyndham Worldwide's commitment to the environment and reducing energy consumption."
