Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company with 25 brands and approximately 9,300 hotels, continued robust growth across Asia Pacific, unveiling today the region’s full-year results for 2024. Among the highlights: the Company awarded 286 contracts, opened 220 new hotels and registered 9% Y-O-Y net room growth, equivalent to approximately 19,000 rooms.
In 2024, the global travel market experienced a strong recovery, with the Asia-Pacific region becoming a key driver with a significant increase in market passenger traffic. Within the region, China effectively boosted the rapid recovery of the inbound tourism market by relaxing and help optimizing entry visa policies, injecting new vitality into the entire Asia-Pacific region. As of year-end 2024, Wyndham has over 1,870 open hotels across Asia Pacific. Wyndham’s commitment to growth in the region was further emphasized last month by a visit from Geoff Ballotti, President and CEO, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
During 17- 21 February 2025, Geoff visited four influential cities in the Asia-Pacific region—Shanghai, Taipei, Bangkok, and Singapore—where he participated in more than 20 project signing ceremonies and engaged in meetings with over 100 hotel owners from across the region.

“This year, we continued to witness robust growth in the tourism industry across Asia Pacific, positioning Wyndham to capitalize on the strong travel demand in the region. When you couple our commitment to growth with our ‘Owner First’ philosophy, we’re helping owners leverage the power of our brands to introduce new travel opportunities to guests—all while delivering on our mission of making hotel travel possible for all.”
– Joon Aun OOI, President, Asia Pacific, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts

These initiatives continue to enhance the appeal of the Wyndham Rewards program, encouraging more guests to embark on their next wonderful journey.

How Scientologys Social Programs Mobilize Volunteers and Deliver Local Impact Across Europe
The Church of Scientology carries out a wide range of humanitarian programs across Europe—from drug prevention and human-rights education to disaster relief and community training. Rooted in the vision of Founder L. Ron Hubbard and led globally by David Miscavige, these initiatives are coordinated in Europe by Ivan Arjona-Pelado and mobilize thousands of volunteers. With free educational materials, practical training, and partnerships at the local level, Scientology’s social programs are leaving a tangible positive impact on European communities while fostering a culture of service and volunteering.
From drug education and human-rights literacy to disaster relief and community skills training, the Church of Scientology supports a set of social initiatives designed to be practical, free to use, and volunteer-driven. In Europe, these programs operate through local churches and partners, with volunteers distributing educational materials, hosting workshops, and deploying to emergencies.
A suite of programs with a civic focus
Scientology’s humanitarian initiatives include the Truth About Drugs campaign (delivered through Foundation for a Drug-Free World), Youth for Human Rights/United for Human Rights, The Way to Happiness (a nonreligious code of common-sense precepts by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard), Applied Scholastics (study skills), Criminon (criminal rehabilitation), Narconon (drug rehabilitation), and the Volunteer Ministers (VMs) network for disaster response and community support. According to Church sources, all are offered as free educational programs and made available in multiple languages both online and in print.
The Foundation for a Drug-Free World reports that more than 62 million Truth About Drugs booklets have been distributed worldwide, while the campaign’s public-service announcements have been broadcast in over 120 countries.
Where Europe sees it on the ground
The Volunteer Ministers—recognizable by their yellow shirts—have provided aid at European disasters and community events, often in cooperation with local authorities and NGOs. In Italy, for example, VMs working alongside the civil protection association Pro.Civi.Co.S have been active at major emergencies from the L’Aquila and Amatrice earthquakes to deployments in Albania and Croatia, and volunteers where also extremely active in Czech Republic floods as well as in Valencia (Spain) for the DANA.
In everyday civic life, volunteers run public pavilions and free skills seminars. In late 2024, VMs in Bucharest offered courses in nineteen practical subjects derived from the Scientology Handbook, with training and materials available in Romanian.
Drug-education volunteers have also been visible in European city centers, festivals, and sports events. During the Paris 2024 Olympics, Drug-Free World teams distributed more than a million Truth About Drugs booklets across iconic locations, reinforcing prevention efforts with visitors and residents alike.
For character education, The Way to Happiness—written by L. Ron Hubbard as a secular guide—has been widely used by volunteers across Europe with schools and community groups to promote civility and ethical choices.
Promoting a culture of volunteering
The Church of Scientology actively encourages volunteering through its Volunteer Ministers program, created by L. Ron Hubbard in the mid-1970s. Guided by the motto “Something can be done about it,” the initiative promotes service as a personal responsibility. Training is provided free of charge through nineteen Volunteer Ministers online courses covering areas such as communication, conflict resolution, and organizing. An information kit is also offered to help new volunteers start activities locally.
Leadership and European coordination
David Miscavige, Ecclesiastical Leader of the Church of Scientology and Chairman of the Board of the Religious Technology Center (RTC), is the driving force behind the expansion of these humanitarian initiatives worldwide, including the Truth About Drugs campaign, human-rights education, and the Volunteer Ministers network.
In Brussels, coordination of the Church’s European engagement is managed through the European Office of the Church of Scientology for Public Affairs and Human Rights, which maintains dialogue with EU and Council of Europe institutions as well as United Nations in Geneva through its recognized foundation MEJORA.
A civic footprint built on free access and partnerships
Across all programs, the Church emphasizes no-cost educational materials, multilingual availability, and cooperation with community institutions. This model—producing scalable content centrally and mobilizing local volunteers to deliver it—has enabled wide distribution and recurring activities across European cities, from school presentations and public outreach to formal roundtables on rights and citizenship.
