“Sample the World with Ramada” helps connect
travelers with authentic global flavors close to home

PRNewswire -- Ramada® by Wyndham, one of the most recognized hotel brands in the world with more than 800 hotels across over 60 countries, today launched “Sample the World® with Ramada,” a new digital video series designed to take travelers on a globally-inspired culinary journey across North America. Hosted by Grammy-nominated musician and Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, Kelis, the series spotlights a diverse
array of restaurants celebrated for both their culture and their cuisine.

At a time when so many with a love for international travel have had to temporarily put their plans on hold, Sample the World
with Ramada aims to help fulfill travelers’ global appetites by connecting them with flavorful foods and rich new experiences
closer to home. In the series, travelers go behind- the-scenes with owners and chefs at top restaurants to uncover their unique stories and discover the dishes that have kept their guests coming back again and again.

“My love for authentic flavors drives me in the kitchen and of course in my travels, which is why I love this campaign – it’s all
about connecting travelers to the world through one of the greatest joys in life – food,” said Kelis. “The series is inspired by
the amazing chefs and restaurant owners who are cooking up flavors of different cultures in their local communities.”

Ramada’s new video series debuts today at www.ramada.com/sampletheworld and offers a look at five distinct restaurants, each in a different foodie destination, that are ready and waiting to be experienced when staying at a nearby Ramada hotel. From edgy and modern Indian at Bibi Ji in Santa Barbara, Calif. to classic Jamaican comfort food at
Pimento Jamaican Kitchen in Minneapolis, Minn., travelers get a first-hand look at what makes each restaurant a must-try and from there, can easily plan a visit by booking a stay at their preferred Ramada hotel. Additional restaurants are slated to be featured in the coming weeks.

“As travelers dream about one day returning to their favorite trips abroad, we want to let them know they can still discover the flavors of amazing global destinations, right here at home, when they stay with Ramada,” said Stephanie Kendrick, brand leader, Ramada by Wyndham. “Sample the World not only celebrates the rich culinary treasures around North America but serves to help our guests unlock a taste of world class cities coast-to-coast.”
