Final Thoughts
Travel is clearly rebounding in a big way — especially on the leisure side of things. And in response, it seems like every major hotel chain is announcing major expansions in their global portfolios to respond to the demand.
We love when travelers have more options to earn and redeem Best Western Rewards points for stays across the globe, and this expansion from BWH Hotel Group is nothing to sneeze at, with hundreds of hotels being added already this year and dozens more to come before the clock strikes 2023.
