Inflation-proof Travel: Safeguarding Your Family’s Getaways with Club Wyndham Asia

Planning a family holiday can feel a little overwhelming these days, especially when inflation in travel costs makes it harder to stick to a budget. Across the Asia-Pacific region, hotel prices have climbed steadily, with average daily rates now 14% to 20% higher1 than they were before the pandemic.

And it’s not just prices rising. A 2025 report2 showed that many popular destinations are seeing both higher occupancy and higher nightly rates, which means fewer deals and more competition for good rooms.

That’s exactly what Club Wyndham Asia helps families do. Through its vacation club membership programme, members enjoy accommodation that is more predictable than booking hotels at changing market rates.

What does Inflation-proof Travel Mean?

Inflation-proof travel protects travellers from fluctuating hotel rates and unpredictable travel costs. Instead of facing changing hotel rates each year, travellers can book stays at more predictable pricing. While hotel rates in many Asian destinations rise during peak seasons, Club Wyndham Asia members can enjoy holidays without worrying about those increases. Club Wyndham Asia supports this by offering:

Fixed-value member points

Stable exchange rates at Club Wyndham Asia’s properties

Prepaid accommodation that shields members from price hikes

Comfortable stays designed to minimise common add-on expenses

Long-term value compared to year-on-year hotel rate increases

This approach is perfect for families, frequent travellers and anyone tired of unpredictable travel budgets.

How Fixed Member Points Shield Your Travel Budget from Inflation

Your Club Wyndham Asia membership gives you an annual allocation of points, the currency that powers your inflation-proof travel. Here’s how it works:

Each stay requires a certain number of points, depending on the resort, room size, season, and length of stay.

Choosing between weekday and weekend stays, or peak or non-peak periods, gives you the flexibility to enjoy either longer, laid-back holidays, or shorter, more frequent getaways.

Your points are automatically deposited each year, ensuring your annual allocation is ready for your next holiday.

You can use points to book Wyndham Asia resorts, associate resorts across Asia Pacific, Wyndham Rewards, RCI exchange stays worldwide, and Club Wyndham South Pacific and WorldMark by Wyndham via partners.

However, members need to remember that the points are valid for 24 months.

Save, Borrow or Combine Points

You’re never tied to a fixed schedule, giving you the flexibility to:

Save points to use next year
Borrow points from the following year
Combine points for bigger holidays or special occasions
Buy extra points with Flexistay

If you need just a few more points to complete a booking, the Flexistay system lets you purchase additional single-use points.

FAQs

How has inflation affected tourism?

Rising travel and hotel prices have significantly impacted on tourism, making budgeting harder. Families increasingly seek inflation-proof travel options to maintain predictable costs and enjoy affordable family trips without compromising quality or experience.

What does it cost to travel today?

Travel costs are steadily rising. Globally, hotel Average Daily Rates (ADR) rose 3.9% in 2023 to around USD 158/night, and was forecasted to reach USD 165 by 20253. In the Asia-Pacific region, Average Daily Rates (ADR) increased approximately 7.4%, hitting USD 131/night4. The increases make budgeting for family holidays more challenging, and this has turned some travellers to vacation membership models for longer-term travel stability.

What drives the rise in travel costs?

Hotel rates climb due to limited room supply, high occupancy, and rising operational costs. Flights are affected by fuel costs, demand surges, and global inflationary pressures. Together, these factors contribute to an environment where travel costs, especially for popular destinations or peak seasons, are higher than in previous years.

Why are travellers considering vacation membership or timeshare models now?

With hotel ADR and airfare climbing, membership or timeshare systems provide a way to lock in accommodation value over time. Families using Club Wyndham Asia’s point-based system can secure stays at consistent rates, avoiding the year-on-year increases in traditional hotels. For frequent travellers, this stability can result in significant long-term savings.

Does vacation membership protect you from inflation?

It primarily protects accommodation costs, not airfare, activities, or meals. However, by locking in lodging value today, families can budget more confidently despite rising global travel prices. Club Wyndham Asia has features like Flexi-Levy or Flexistay to enhance flexibility and control costs.
