Dear Mr. Gordon and Mr. Demarest:

Commission (the “Staff”) our response to the comments issued in a comment letter dated
April 14, 2011 (the “Comment Letter”) relating to the Form 10-K for the year ended December

reference and to facilitate the Staff’s review, the heading and numbered paragraph of this letter
correspond to the heading and paragraph number contained in the Comment Letter and we have

     We are available at your convenience to discuss these matters with you.

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011

General

    1.

    You state on page 8 and elsewhere that you operate in the Middle East, Africa, and
Latin America, regions that can be understood to include Iran, Syria, Sudan, and Cuba. We
also note the information on your website that you are affiliated with the Monte Rosa
Hotel & Country Club resort in Syria, and the May 2010 announcement that RCI added the
Jdoudna Hotel in Syria to its international vacation exchange network. In addition, we
note on page 7 that in June 2010 you acquired the Tryp hotel brand. It appears from
publicly-available information that three Tryp hotels are located in Cuba. Cuba, Iran,
Sudan, and Syria are identified by the State Department as state sponsors of terrorism,
and are subject to U.S. economic sanctions and export controls. We note that your Form
10-K does not include disclosure regarding any contacts with the referenced countries.

    Please describe to us the nature and extent of your past, current, and anticipated contacts
with Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria, whether through subsidiaries, affiliates, joint
ventures, or other direct or indirect arrangements since your letters to us dated June 15,
2006 and June 26, 2006. Your response should describe any goods or services that you have
purchased from, or provided into, Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria, directly or indirectly, and
discuss whether you have agents or employees in the referenced countries, and any
agreements, commercial arrangements, or other contacts you have had with the governments of
those countries or entities controlled by those governments.

    RESPONSE:

    Except as otherwise set forth below, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that the
Company has not entered into any business transactions with counterparties located in and
has no employees or agents in Cuba, Iran, Syria or Sudan. The Company operates through
three business units: Wyndham Hotel Group (“WHG”), Wyndham Exchange and Rentals (“WER”) and
Wyndham Vacation Ownership.

    While WHG acquired the Tryp hotel brand in June 2010, the Tryp-brand trademarks and hotels
located in Cuba were excluded from the acquisition; thus WHG has no contacts with Cuba.
With respect to Syria, a joint venture entity, in which WHG has a 30% equity interest,
entered into a management agreement in Bloudan, Syria for a hotel. The hotel is
anticipated to open on October 1, 2011. WHG will provide consultation, marketing and
reservation services but will not
provide any goods nor will it provide any other items subject to the U.S. Export
Administration Regulations, to the hotel.

    Foreign subsidiaries of WER, which operate as servicing entities, have entered into
exchange affiliation agreements with two independent resorts located in Syria, only one of
which has commenced sales of vacation ownership interests and has RCI exchange program
members. The affiliation agreements allow individual consumer-owners of vacation ownership
interests at these resorts to enroll as RCI members with the applicable foreign servicing
subsidiary and exchange their vacation ownership interests for available interests at other
vacation properties within applicable RCI exchange programs. Likewise, other RCI members
can exchange their vacation ownership interests for available interests at a Syrian
vacation resort affiliated with RCI’s exchange programs. RCI members residing in Syria pay
the applicable foreign servicing subsidiary a small annual membership fee and a transaction
fee for the ability to exchange vacation ownership interests within the exchange program.
The affiliation agreements do not give the foreign servicing subsidiaries any interests or
rights in the ownership or management of the Syrian resorts and in no way obligate the
foreign servicing subsidiaries, or any other affiliate of the Company, to provide financial
or commercial support to the resorts. The Company’s foreign servicing subsidiaries receive
no income from or on behalf of the Syrian resorts, other than initial membership fees that
the resort may elect to pay on behalf of a new member.

    Due to the nature of the Company’s vacation exchange business, the consumer membership base
is constantly changing. As of March 31, 2011, of the approximately 3.8 million members who
have the ability to exchange vacation ownership interests through the Company’s vacation
exchange business, the Company’s foreign servicing entities have approximately 0, 72, 23
and 252 members resident in Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria, respectively. Since our letter
dated June 26, 2006 to the SEC, except as described above, WER has entered into no other
business transactions with counterparties located in and has had no employees or agents in
Cuba, Iran, Syria or Sudan.

    To the knowledge of the undersigned, after reasonable inquiry, no counterparty in any of
these transactions appears on the lists of prohibited parties maintained by the Office of
Foreign Asset Control, the Department of State and Bureau of Industry and Security.

    2.

    Please discuss the materiality of your business activities in, and other contacts
with, Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria described in response to the foregoing comment, and
whether they constitute a material investment risk for your security holders. You should
address materiality in quantitative terms, including the approximate dollar amounts of any
revenues, assets, and

May 10, 2011

    liabilities associated with each of the referenced countries for the last three fiscal
years and the subsequent interim period. Also, address materiality in terms of qualitative
factors that a reasonable investor would deem important in making an investment decision,
including the potential impact of corporate activities upon a company’s reputation and
share value. As you may know, various state and municipal governments, universities, and
other investors have proposed or adopted divestment or similar initiatives regarding
investment in companies that do business with U.S.-designated state sponsors of terrorism.
Your materiality analysis should address the potential impact of the investor sentiment
evidenced by such actions directed toward companies that have operations associated with
Cuba, Iran, Sudan, or Syria.

    RESPONSE:

    The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it does not believe the business activities
and other contacts described above to be material in quantitative or qualitative terms, nor
do they present a material investment risk for its security holders.

    From a quantitative perspective, as of the date of this letter, WHG has not generated
revenue from the hotel in Syria. Aggregate net revenues from WER’s RCI members as a result
of the activities described above constituted less than 0.002%, 0.003%, 0.002% and 0.002%
of the Company’s total combined revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the
full years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In the aggregate, as of
March 31, 2011, RCI members resident in Iran, Sudan and Syria represented less than 0.01%
of RCI exchange program members.

    From a qualitative perspective, the Company believes it is important to recognize that the
immaterial affiliation agreements with the Syrian resorts are through the Company’s foreign
servicing subsidiaries and those individual RCI members resident in Syria are serviced by
the foreign servicing subsidiaries. These business activities are unrelated to Syria’s
designation as a state sponsor of terrorism and as such the Company does not believe that
it would be material to an investor concerned with such designation. Furthermore, the
Company believes that its administration of the vacation exchange business complies with
the applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those administered by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Asset Control and the U.S. Department of
Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security.

    Additionally, to our knowledge, no stockholder or potential investor has raised the subject
matter of the Comment Letter as a source of concern in any respect.
