PARSIPPANY, NJ, Sep 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
The first meeting of the Women on Their Way by Wyndham Worldwide Advisory
Board took place last month in Greensboro, North Carolina during the
Wyndham Championship, a PGA TOUR event.

The Women on Their Way Advisory Board will share trends in the way that
women are planning, booking and enjoying travel and will provide valuable
feedback about the changing needs of female travelers. Their
recommendations will lay the foundation for future amenities, operational
changes and marketing programs aimed at this ever growing segment.

Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE: WYN) re-launched Women on Their Way with a new
website and the formation of the board earlier this summer. The website,
www.WomenOnTheirWay.com, includes expert advice on destinations, hotels,
timeshare resorts and vacation rentals, plus special deals and packages.
While originally a single hotel chain program, Wyndham Worldwide expanded
the program across all brands and businesses offering over 70,000 hotels,
vacation rentals and resorts in 100 countries.

"It is an honor to be the chairperson of the Women on Their Way Advisory
Board," stated Virginia M. (Gina) Wilson, EVP and Chief Financial Officer
